Do you know a young carer? Would they know what to do in an emergency?
Emergency plans can help young carers in crisis situations by helping them to:
- be prepared
- know what to do
- know who to turn to if necessary.
If you are supporting a young carer and their family, make sure:
- they have an emergency plan
- the plan is up to date
- their emergency plan is shared with those who need to know and everyone knows what’s expected of them.
