Young Carers
Commonswood School take the welfare of our young carers very seriously and have recently put a number of initiatives in place to support them. We will provide them with access to support and guidance with safe adults in school. We have set up regular forums with our Young Carers to ensure their voices are heard and that they receive the very best support. We provide a weekly drop-in session which enables children to share experiences with each other.
Carers Trust and The Children’s Society are working with schools, young carers services and Local Authorities to share good practice and develop relevant, accessible tools and training. This initiative is funded in England by The Queen’s Trust and Big Lottery Fund.
