early help

My children's school asked if they could refer me to early help. I agreed at the time as I felt kind of like I had no choice. I have since changed my mind, I know it's completely voluntary so how do I back out now? I don't want to tell the school I have changed my mind as I think they will just convince me to go along with it as they can be quite pushy, if early help contact can I just tell them I dont want to proceed?

Never really understand to point of CIN. Its not on kids school files and my sons disability SW never meets them or asks after them. They wouldn't even know what or where my 17 is studying / doing. The named SW is only for disabled child and they only deal with him ( if that. They haven't seen him for 9 months and me for ten). It will be coming up for a year they haven't stepped foot in my house.

Who I forms school a child is CIN? It's just a tick box really.

Mine were the same.

One sibling was classed as a young carer at his school - but the school didn’t actually do anything to support YCs.

When disabled child became an adult, social services disappeared anyway. He gets NHS funding now instead so has no social worker.

I helped start a YCs group at my school so once a month our young carer meet for an afternoon of activities/have a Christmas party etc.
