  1. Step 8 Tool 3: Assembly/Tutorial activities • This PowerPoint aims to support schools to: • Raise pupil awareness about who young carers are and the sorts of caring responsibilities they may have. • Support pupils to recognise if they are a young carer and how to get help. • Help pupils understand the challenges faced by young carers and the impact, both positive and negative of being a young carer. • It contains information and activities for use in assemblies/tutor time. Accompanying notes for staff can be found below each slide. When using the slides with pupils/students, staff can select an activity or activities, and hide the rest of the slides. • N.B.

The Young Carers School Operational Lead may wish to invite relevant local services to make presentations about topics, such as mental ill health.
