Question
How does the Welsh Government support young carers with their education?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
We asked Estyn to conduct a thematic review into provision for young carers in secondary schools, further education colleges and pupil referral units which identified effective practice in schools. We also funded Carers Trust Wales to develop resources to support schools and young carers.
The Welsh Government’s national Young Carer ID card helps young carers identify themselves so teachers can offer appropriate support.
