Our training resources

We currently have two teams who are funded to provide training across the following areas:

  • Blaenau Gwent
  • Caerphilly
  • Cardiff
  • Monmouthshire
  • Newport
  • Torfaen
  • Vale of Glamorgan

 

Our Young and Parent Carer Team provide ‘identifying us’ training to both staff teams, governors and elected members across all schools in the areas listed above.

Our staff training ‘Identifying Us’ is offered every 6-8 weeks virtually which can be booked via Eventbrite. This training gives the opportunity for all staff within the school community to learn about young carers, the issues they face and how the school can best support them and their families.

Governor and Elected Member training is offered once a term and can also be booked via Eventbrite. This gives the opportunity to the Governing Body to understand their responsibilities to young carers in their school.

Our Carer Friendly Team are able to provide free training for all health, social care, colleges, third sector and emergency services across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan and the Gwent area.
