Devon Young Carers have created two videos to help young people and adults learn more about young carers.

The first is for young people and can be used in schools assemblies, for groups of young people in other organisations or watch it yourself or with friends if you are a young person.

The second is to help adults understand more about young carers and how to support them and find out about the role of Devon Young Carers. It can be used in staff training or as part of continuous professional development.
