On this page you’ll find two options: our Group Carer Awareness Training (a free, two-hour online session with discussion and lived experience from a volunteer carer champion) and our Online Carer Training Courses (short, flexible modules you can complete in your own time). Use the drop-down sections below to read more and find out how to book.
Free two-hour sessions online offering an introduction to York Carers Centre and looking at how anyone in the community can identify and support unpaid carers.
The sessions include a presentation from our Volunteer and Training Officer, which entails sharing information around current carer issues. There is also the chance for discussions around barriers and challenges carers might face. In addition, there is the opportunity to hear from a carer (either online or in a film) talking about their experience of caring and what types of support can help.

Our online training website helps you to learn more about carers and how you can support carers.
Each course is designed to help you increase your knowledge about carers, their rights and some of the challenges they encounter. It includes opinions and contributions from carers and professionals. The course will give you information about what you personally can do to support carers and where to go for specialist support.
