YCDT

Prior to the YCDT's formation in 2012, only one young carer in west Wiltshire had been to university. Trustees are united in their view that young carers' life experiences often equip them for high achievement, once the difficulties caused by their caring responsibilities are addressed. YCDT is establishing a network of high-achieving young carers, willing to become active and inspiring role models for others from backgrounds similar to their own. YCDT works through its Development Mentors who provide resources and mentoring for these young carers. We currently support young carers from North Somerset, Bristol, South Gloucester, Wiltshire, Bath & North East Somerset, Gwent and Swindon... It is the policy of the YCDT to safeguard the welfare of all children and young people by protecting them from all forms of abuse including neglect, physical, emotional and sexual harm. YCDT is committed to creating a safe environment in which young people can feel comfortable and secure while engaged..
