E-learning for school staff
A Healthy Schools young carers e-learning module is available to help school staff who work with young carers. The aim of the module is to increase understanding in schools of particular issues and challenges facing young carers and their families.
Young carers e-learning module for school staff
The module is designed to help all school staff identify and support young carers throughout their education. Based on a set of questions, it provides insight into young carers and practical ideas about how to support them directly and within the wider school setting.
It can be completed as a stand alone e-leaning tool and takes about 40 minutes to complete. You can test your understanding by attempting the ‘Knowledge Check’ at the end. Although users access and complete the module in their own time, we encourage school leadership teams and governors to follow-up with a discussion around whole school action.
A Healthy Schools toolkit is now available on the DfE website, which provides comprehensive information to support schools engaging in health and wellbeing improvements for their children and young people. The practical ‘plan, do, review’ approach outlined in the toolkit supports schools to identify and select priorities, milestones, activities and interventions effectively.
