Education Professionals
Stirling Young Carers Education Service provides specialist support to young carers within an education setting. It is vital that young carers are identified and receive appropriate support to ensure positive outcomes.
Our Education Service can help achieve this by:
Training for teachers
Providing awareness raising and training sessions to help staff to identify and refer young carers to the service.
Awareness-raising for pupils
Providing awareness raising assemblies or classes to pupils to help them to understand what a young carer is, and to encourage self-referral.
Resources to raise awareness
Providing resources to raise awareness of young carers within your school, including materials for display boards, which we can work with your school and the young carers to develop and install.
Support planning
Working with you to establish support mechanisms for young carers, including lunchtime groups, timetabled classes, internal awareness raising events, etc.
