Young carer policy template for schools and colleges

‘All schools/ colleges should have a policy in place that recognises the needs of young carers and outlines how the setting will identify and address these needs.’ (Young Carers in Schools)

This template policy has been created by Sheffield Young Carers for schools and colleges in Sheffield, and endorsed by Sheffield Children’s Safeguarding Team (and can be found on their website here), making it easy for your setting to adapt, share amongst staff, and implement.
