I am so proud that our @YCAlliance work won the Young Carers Award at the @cypnow Awards last night. Absolutely delighted to have received this recognition for the combined efforts of all the individual/organisational members and young carers who make the Alliance what it is!
We were thrilled to win the Young Carers Award at @CYPNow Awards for our work on the Young Carers Alliance 🏆 Huge congratulations to fellow finalists @CarersInBeds @family_action Windsor and Maidenhead, both also Alliance members, doing excellent work supporting young carers 💙

@TonyDailide Yet still the vast majority of councils don't have these transitions assessments in place - particularly for parent carers.

For those of you wondering why I was wearing a Christmas jumper in September - this is why!!! 👇👇👇 It's been amazing to have been part of this and can't wait for the full song to be released tomorrow. Amazing way to raise awareness of, and much-needed funds for young carers.
New Christmas song featuring @EdwardJDavey in support of young carers through us & @bathphil has been released! A song like no other, Love is Enough, written & recorded by @bathphil's Young Carers Choir. Find out about the song & give your support:

Looking forward to this plenary on transitions at #NCASC24 - really interested to see if it also includes transitions for young carers and parent carers - who can often be forgotten. This was something highlighted in recent @CarersTrust and @WeAreCarers report

Great to hear Andy Smith, President @ADCStweets talking about the challenges in accessing assessments and support, not just for children, but also parents - such as those with alcohol or substance misuse challenges. Also welcome ADCS commitment to inclusion in education #NCAS24

Thank you also to Melanie Williams for sharing your experience of preparing for adult life for you and your son. Transitions between children's and adult services for carers is a key area that needs improving. Delighted that @CarersTrust running a workshop on this here #ncasc24

Angela Rayner refers to the social care fair pay agreement as the 'jewel in the crown' of the Employment Rights Bill. For social care providers, including carer services, up and down the country - it certainly won't be without uplifts in contracts to match

This is such a brilliant development and the work @JohnBangs15 and Ana Graca have done on this is amazing. Making this book freely available to help have conversations with youngest young carers across the UK and around the world! If you work with young carers, do check it out.
“Young Carers in Bunnyland” by Ana Graça appears to be the first picture storybook in the world for our youngest young carers. Now available for free on the Apple Book Store. #youngcarers @YCAlliance @CarersTrust @KingstonCarers @oerimim @YCARP2021 @official_credes @andy_mcgowan

@CarersTrust @WeAreCarers It was great to have @CareQualityComm and @ptnrscarehealth at the roundtable to hear directly from the carers and carer services. Really pleased to see a focus on parent carers and young adult carers - two groups who can often be forgotten when looking at assessments for carers.
