You're a young carer if you're under 18 and help to look after a relative with a disability, illness, mental health condition, or drug or alcohol problem. If you're a young carer, you probably look after one of your parents or care for a brother or sister.

Many students do not consider themselves a young carer even when they provide significant support to others in the home. We are very proud of our young carers and we offer them a tailored support plan, that meets their individual needs. Our young carers can choose which of the following support the want:

Access to:

• 1:1 support with a named adult or their tutor
• 1:1 mentoring support with an adult or a prefect
• 1:1 Counselling
• 1:1 support with Chaplain
• 1:1 support with a Techer to support any academic needs, during tutor time
• Homework club access during Tutor time
• Access to a Chromebook for Home use
• Support with uniform
• Access to additional trips
• Young carer assessment
• Referral to the young carer Warwickshire Group.
• Reduction in costs for DofE

In addition, we track progress and attendance across this key group to ensure our pupils are not falling behind. If you are a young carer and would like some support please contact Mrs Roberson - siobhan.roberson@harris.covmat.org
