What Is the Process for Updating a Young Carers Statement?

To update a young carer statement in the Scottish Borders, the initial step is to have a conversation with someone at your school, such as a teacher or school nurse, or reach out to a social worker or the Scottish Borders CHIMES service. This discussion will help understand what's important for the young carer and how to implement any necessary changes.

Here’s a straightforward process to follow:

1. Initiate Contact: Talk to educators or support staff at your school.
2. Discuss Needs: Share your situation and any changes in your caring responsibilities.
3. Update Statement: This conversation may lead to an updated young carer statement tailored to the individual circumstances.
