Sheffield Young Carers and Coronavirus (Covid-19)

During the Covid-19 pandemic, SYC have wanted to deliver the best service we can whilst also making sure all our young people, families and staff are as safe as possible.

We are now running all our services face-to-face again (unless it works better for a young person or family online or occasionally if we have to cover staff absence).

We still have the following safety measures in place though:

  • Young people and staff now only have to wear masks if they are in our cars or minibuses traveling to/from our activities (unless exempt). They can can still choose to wear masks during any of our activities if they wish though

  • We are asking young people and families we work with to stay home from our group activities if they have any Covid symptoms or have been in contact with someone with Covid

  • We have provided LFD testing kits so that out staff can continue to test for Covid twice weekly

Update on young carers and vaccinations: You can find out who is currently eligible for vaccines and boosters on this NHS website.

Other support: You can find lots of information about Covid and support available from Sheffield City Council here.
