The purpose of the Young Carers Passport is so the Young Carer does not have to repeat their story, and the right people in their life are aware they are a Young Carer, how this affects them, and the ways they want to be supported.

The Young Carer's Passport can be shared with any professional or setting that the Young Carer or family wishes, this could be school tutors, head of year, school transition/starting a new school, family GP, etc. This allows any adult working with a Young Carer to have a greater understanding of the impact of the caring role, ways to help them and make reasonable adjustments to support them.

It is important to listen of the views of the Young Carer, how they feel, and what affects them, they are experts in their roles and their own lives.

If you would like Devon Young Carers to help with or share the Young Carers Passport with school/college or any professionals, please let us know and we support this.
