Young Carers Awareness Training (3 hour workshop)
This workshop will cost £40 for fee paying organisations.
This 3 hour workshop delivered by the Westminster Dream Arts Young Carers Navigator is an important area of learning within the wider context of safeguarding children.
Using DreamArts’ therapeutic arts methods, the training will involve interactive and practical tasks to unpack the following key areas: identification, assessment, and support of young carers. There will be an opportunity to discuss and reflect on these areas and to gain insights into the issues that young people with caring responsibilities, and their families, experience.
We will explore some of the misconceptions surrounding what it means to be a young carer and why they remain a 'hidden' population within the UK. We will also hear from young carers within Westminster directly and spend time exploring the pathways available for young carers within Westminster City Council.
Learning Outcomes:
· Learn key facts, stats and information surrounding young carers across the UK.
· Understand how to identify a young carer within your professional environment.
· Understand the categories of caring responsibilities and what this might look like for a young carer on a day-to-day basis.
· Understand how to approach a young carer, have a safe conversation about their caring responsibilities and offer them additional support in your professional practice.
· Understand a young carer’s right to an assessment and how to carry out a young carers assessment within your professional practice.
