Tools for Schools
The Young Carers Team provide an assessment and support service to young carers, aged 0-18 years, and their families, across West Sussex.
The assessment and support for young carers and their families can include:
– home visits followed by direct work with the family,
– or the provision of short breaks through groups, commissioned services or activities.
The team also provides consultation and training to other professionals. The training covers the needs of young carers, including raising the awareness across the Integrated Prevention and Earliest Help, Children’s and Adult’s Services.
