Young Carer’s Pathway
From 1st March 2026, Young Carer assessment pathway in North Tyneside has changed. See the flow chart in the document below.
New Young Carers Screening Tool:
From 1st March, a new Young Carers Screening Tool has been introduced. This tool is designed to:
- Help practitioners understand the impact of a young person’s caring role
- Identify the level of support required
- Ensure young carers can access appropriate support in a timely way
The screening tool should be completed by a trusted professional with the young person in the first instance to determine what support and actions are required for that individual.
