Cornwall multi-agency strategy

The Children's Trust Cornwall published Cornwall multi-agency strategy for young carers 2010-13. The strategy is for all those who have a responsibility and interest in supporting young carers and their families. Through it, the Trust seeks to ensure that young carers are recognised and valued, receive support for their caring role, and are safeguarded against taking on responsibilities which prevent them achieving their full potential. An executive summary is also available.
