Young Carer Education Support (YCE)
Empowering Schools to Support Young Carers
What We Offer Schools
We work hand-in-hand with schools across Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City to help identify, support, and celebrate Young Carers. Our services are free, flexible, and tailored to your school's needs.

Our Core Services
· Staff Training & CPD - Equip your team to spot and support Young Carers.
· Assemblies & PSHCE Lessons - Age-appropriate sessions to raise awareness and reduce stigma.
· Network meetings
· Carer Friendly Quality Mark - Recognise your school’s commitment to Young Carers.
· 1:1 School Liaison Support - Ongoing guidance from our dedicated team.
Why It Matters
Over 800,000 children in the UK are Young Carers. Many go unnoticed. With the right support, schools can be a lifeline-improving attendance, wellbeing, and achievement.

How We Work With You
· Flexible delivery: In-person or virtual sessions.
· Customised content: Tailored to your school’s size, needs, and priorities.
· Ongoing support: We’re here before, during, and after implementation.
