Young Carers

Are You A Young Carer?

Does your child carry out caring duties?  If so, they could be a Young Carer here at Broomfields Junior School.

We support Young Carers in school and also work closely with the Young Carers Team at Warrington Carers Hub. 

Broomfields Junior School has a Young Carer Champion, Mrs Plant, who is available in school, so any Young Carer that needs to share any worries, concerns or happy news can do so, at our drop ins sessions.  Please feel free to email school if you wish to enquire about young carers: reception@broomfieldsjunior.tcat.uk.com

We know being a young carer can be tough at times, and we’re here for you. We can help you to:

Find solutions together

We can help make things a bit easier to balance caring with your education.

Connect with other young carers

Meet others your age who understand what it’s like to be a young carer. Make new friends, share experiences, and build new skills together.

Take a break

Join in fun groups and activities, relax, and have some time just for you.

Emergency planning

Prepare a plan for who would support the person you care for if you couldn’t due to an emergency.
