Young Carers

Children in Wales’ Young Carers Network was involved in the development of this website. The  toolkit is aimed at professionals across Health, Education and Social Services, who are identifying, and have contact with young carers and young adult carers.

Children in Wales commissioned this video to give Young Carers across Wales voice and raise awareness of the issues that they still face in education, in health and with social services. The film that was created has been shown to Ministers in the Welsh Government.

This leaflet was produced as a result of research carried out by Children in Wales with young carers as part of the ESF Reach the Heights programme.  The research was carried out to identify the specific support needs that young carers have in accessing a range of services.
