The Young Carers Programme in Waltham Forest is working closely with schools to help identify young carers, so they can be better supported in school and their communities through whole family support and our dedicated programme. 

The programme team can also support schools to develop practice and policies that ensure positive outcomes are achieved for both young carers and their families. 

More details on how the scheme will help schools can be found here. 

Please download the following poster leaflet to display in your schools and hand to families.
