Carers First is offering digital skills training for 12 young

adult carers to become Digital Champions, to train 72

adult carers to get online and seek volunteering and

employment opportunities and online support available

to them.

Each young adult carer will receive Digital Champion

training, covering GDPR; safeguarding; communicating

effectively with vulnerable people of all ages; and

recording interactions accurately.

For adult carers, this will help to tackle isolation, enabling

them to join online groups, wellbeing activities and our

social media platforms. The training will also benefit

carers practically, to access services online to help

manage their health, shopping and banking needs.

Our Digital Champions programme will be running from

the end of January - dates yet to be confirmed.
