We are currently working towards our Young Carers award, to ensure we have identified all young carers within our school and are able to offer them the support required. If you think you live with a young carer please email flint.h@allsaints.notts.sch.uk with their full name.
Who are Young Carers?
A young carer is a person under 18 who provides or intends to provide care for another person. They often take on practical and/or emotional caring responsibilities that would normally be expected of an adult.
‘A young carer becomes vulnerable when their caring roles risks impacting upon their emotional or physical wellbeing and their prospects in education and life’ (Care Act Statutory Guidance, 2014).
