Guidance
Supporting Young Carers Aged 5–8: A Resource for Professionals Working with Younger Carers
Downloads
This resource aims to bring clarity for services working with young carers, as to whether or not it is necessary for them to register with Ofsted if they choose to work with children under eight years old.
Key points
- Part one provides guidance and responsibilities for childcare providers.
- Part two presents some local practice being undertaken by Carers Trust Network Partner, Carers Lewisham, with young carers aged 5–8.
Although Part 1 of this resource is specific to England, many of the ideas and practice in Part 2 are applicable across the UK.
