A young carer is someone aged 18 or under who helps look after a relative who has a condition, such as a disability, illness, mental health condition, or a drug or alcohol problem.
Most young carers look after one of their parents or care for a brother or sister. They do extra jobs in and around the home, such as cooking, cleaning, or helping someone to get dressed and move around.
Some children give a lot of physical help to a brother or sister who is disabled or ill. Along with doing things to help their brother or sister, they may also be giving emotional support to both their sibling and their parents.
Here at Parish School our Lead Teacher for Young Carers is Mrs Nelson. You can contact Mrs Nelson through the usual school telephone number, or via email: sarah.nelson@parishchurch.lincs.sch.uk .
