Information and Service Gaps
Gaps in InformationData sharing protocols not in
place so limits information shared:
• Unable to establish young carers attainment trends
• Unable to establish progression post Year 11 – e.g. NEET/HE/FE
• Not able to establish source of referrals
• Unable to easily establish needs of young carers 18 -24 years
Gaps in Provision• Adult provision does not cover
18 -24 years specifically• Anecdotal – Limited/no
provision for young carers with complex needs
Opportunity
• Develop provision for 18 – 24 years• Activity required:– Possible new service design– Walsall Carers to share data or assist in contact
previous young carers now aged 18 years and above
– Consultation with this group and any registered with Walsall Carers
– Likely to require funding/support
