We’re really excited to have launched our new, free e-learning module called ‘Young Carers: Identifying and supporting young people with caring responsibilities in Sheffield’.

This course is aimed at professionals working in Sheffield to help you better identify and support children and young people who have caring responsibilities. It has been co-designed with young people from our service and is CPD-certified.

The module takes approximately one hour to complete and you can save it then come back to it if you don’t finish it in one sitting.

The course also includes a range of useful downloadable resources for you to save and use in your practice.

Learning outcomes: By the end of the course, you will be able to:

Explain why it is important to identify and support young carers
Outline young carers’ statutory rights and how these are met in Sheffield
Explain who young carers are and how caring responsibilities can impact on young people
Identify young carers more confidently in your work
Support young carers in your work, through signposting and practical resources
