- Support in meetings e.g. Family Support, Children in Need, Child Protection and school meetings
- Liaising with schools so that teachers can better suppot their students
- Consultation with Young Carers to shape the service
- Alleviate and reduce inappropriate caring responsibilities by assisting the Young Carer and their family to access additional support
