In acknowledgment of the barriers that many young carers face to accessing Children’s University (CU) activities, Sheffield Children’s University and SYC have developed a ‘Learning Through Caring’ programme. This enables young carers to receive 1 CU credit per week in recognition of learning and skills development that takes place through their caring responsibilities. This requires termly review discussion with a member of school staff, so young carers can reflect on the valuable life skills they have developed through their responsibilities at home; realise how transferable these skills are for college, university, employment and later life; and receive CU credits and awards for their efforts.
