Training for Young Carers

Posted by admin February 4 2009 There is 1 comment

During the summer, we asked as many of you as we could grab (kicking and screaming!) what you would like to learn about as young carers. This was part of a bigger survey asked to all carers in the County by the Carers Training Partnership and we got some quite interesting results! This is what you told us – if anyone would like anything different, then please get in touch and let us know

Top 5 courses that you would like to do:

  1. Time for me
  2. First Aid
  3. Legal rights as carers
    Medication and effects
  4. Using a wheelchair safely
    Relaxation
  5. Food hygiene
    Dealing with anger
    Lifting and handling

We also asked you if you would like more information about various conditions and illnesses and these are the answers you gave us:

  1. Epilepsy
  2. Dementia
  3. Sensory loss (including eye sight and hearing loss)
  4. ADHD
    Strokes
  5. Schizophrenia
  6. Autism
    Parkinsons
  7. HIV/Aids
    Aspergers
    Bi-polar disorder

Watch this space…… I am sure that some interesting (and fun) courses will be coming your way soon.
