Spotting young carers earlier
Young people receive information about caregiving and available support with their public health check-up at secondary school.
✓ Adopted unanimously
Why this motion
Some young people care for their parents, physically or financially, without knowing they are carers. As a result they often don’t get the right support.
After starting secondary school, every young person is invited by the GGD for a health check: an ideal moment to reach them.
What the council asks
The city council asks the mayor and aldermen to:
- 1Investigate whether a leaflet or letter can be added to the GGD invitation explaining what caregiving is and what support is available for young people.
