Commitments to young carers
What schools need to do for the school census return
For the school census return to provide an accurate representation of the number of young carers in schools, schools will need to have systems and processes in place to:
- raise awareness of young carers with all staff and pupils
- flag who the young carers in your school are
- make sure that young carers who are identified are linked into available support, both within school and externally.
