Supporting Young Carers at Norwood Primary School

At Norwood Primary School, we are committed to supporting Young Carers. We understand the unique challenges they may face and strive to provide a supportive environment where they can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Young Carers are young people under the age of 18 who provide care, unpaid, for a family member with an illness or disability, mental health condition or an addiction. 

 

Our Support Offerings Include:

1:1 Support: Our dedicated Young Carers Champion, Mr Thompson, is here to provide personalised support and guidance to Young Carers and their families.

Staff Training: Our staff members undergo specialised training to better understand and support the needs of Young Carers.

Assemblies and lessons: Assemblies and lessons to raise awareness and celebrate the contributions of Young Carers.

External referrals: In addition to our school-specific offerings, we also provide referrals to external organisations such as Centre 33 for Young Carers.

 

At Norwood Primary School, we are proud to be Young Carer aware. Our goal is to ensure that every Young Carer feels supported, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential.

For more information or to access our support services, please contact Mr Thompson, via the school office.
