    Young Carers

    What is a Carer?

    Young Carers are children and young people aged 5-18 who help to look after somebody in their family because that person has a disability. illness, mental health difficulty, or because that person misuses drugs or alcohol. 

    ​

    Most children and young people help out at home with things like washing dishes and keeping their room tidy.

    ​

    Young Carers have to do more than that. They might have to help to do the shopping, cooking, cleaning, looking after younger bothers or sisters, giving medication, helping the person they care for go to the toilet, shower, stay with them and keep them company when they’re feeling down, or worry about that person when they aren’t with them. 

    ​

    Caring can affect how children feel, their family life, social life and education. 

    How do we support our Young Carers?

    • We complete regular questionnaires with all children to identify who our Young Carers are. 

    • We work with every Young Carer to create a personalised plan of support. 

    • We offer regular ‘drop in’ sessions for our Young Carers where we can help with homework, workload, SATs, emotional check-ins. 

    • We offer Young Carers a platform to share their experiences and educate others. 

    • We closely monitor the academic progress of our Young Carers to enable timely intervention and support where needed. 

    • With the support of our Governing Body and the ‘Young Carers Schools Programme’, we regularly review our provision.

    How else can help?

    • We work closely with the North Tyneside Carers Centre, who can also offer family support.
