Whole school approach to young carers in schools

What support can we signpost CYP to?

Please see signposting links for children and young people (CYP):

Young Carers Matter Norfolk offers support to young carers and their families.
Young Carers Support App provides online advice for young carers from Carers Matter Norfolk
Kooth provides anonymous and personalised emotional and mental health support for children and young people aged between 11 and 24.
Sense runs an online project focused on connecting siblings and young carers to develop meaningful friendships, providing opportunities to try new and fun activities, giving CYP respite from caring responsibilities and supporting their wellbeing.
The Matthew Project: Unity Service is a specialist drugs and alcohol service for CYP and their families.

If you need guidance about how to support an individual CYP who has just been identified as a young carer, then please see step by step guidance in this padlet.
