What is a Young Carer?

Young carers are 8-19 year olds who are caring for a family member with a physical or mental illness, disability, or because of a drug or alcohol related problem. the person being cared for may be a parent, sibling  or other relative living in the same household.
If you think your child could be a young carer and would like information on how Young Carer MK could help you please look at the website. www.youngcarersmk.org

The aim of Young Carers MK is to provide support for young carers in Milton Keynes by providing:
  • support & information
  • young carers' clubs
  • a chance to meet other young carers
  • support in schools
  • trips and activities
  • signposting to other services

At Great Linford Primary School we know that awareness is possibly the most important aspect of identifying the vulnerabilities of young carers. It is important that staff can recognise the possible indicators and start to support these young people in practical ways.

  We support our young carers either with regualr meetings with their families to  ensure the children's social and emotional needs and their educational needs are being taken into account. Where necessary we allocate a keyworker who checks in with the children and liase with the family champion. 

Great Linford are currently working towards a Young Carers in Schools Award. The programme is an exciting England-wide initiative that aims to make it as easy as possible for schools to support young carers and awards good practice.
