SUMMARY:Year of the Adolescent Programme: Carer Aware
DESCRIPTION:1 in 12 young people have caring responsibilities for a family member or friend due to illness\, disability\, mental health illness or addiction. We know that on average young carers achieve 9 grades lower than their peers at GCSE level. We know that young carers miss an average of 23 school days a year\, with almost half of young carers in secondary schools persistently absent. We know that 48% young carers reported being bullied in the last year. What is being done to protect and support these young people?  \nIt takes the average carer 2 years to identify themselves as a ‘carer’\, for young carers it can take significantly longer. At Newcastle Carers we see young carers coming to us in crisis\, struggling with their own health and wellbeing\, caring in isolation\, and often juggling complex and inappropriate caring responsibilities. This workshop will instill you with the skills and knowledge to identify young carers and embed support within your own organisation. You will be equipped with information about specialist support for young carers in the region\, ensuring that we work together to identify young carers and ensure they have all appropriate support in place.  \nThis workshop will help us to work towards preventative support for young carers\, ensuring adolescents with caring responsibilities get the right support\, at the right time\, giving them a voice and a choice in their caring journey.
