Free training for school staff

These are short sessions, run at times to suit schools, and cover:

- the help and opportunities offered to young people via our Surrey Young Carers team.

School census changes
Identifying young carers has become even more important, as from 2023, they are now included in the school census return.
This should help give a better picture of the numbers both being identified – and failing to be identified – as well as help monitor the attendance and attainment of young carers.
