Young Carers
Currently, Hethersett Woodside Primary and Nursery School are working with the Benjamin Foundation to improve our provision for Young Carers. It’s reported that 1 in 5 children are classed as a young carer with 1 in 12 taking on mid to high level care.Â
A Young Carer is ‘a young carer is a person under 18 who looks after someone in their family or a friend who is ill, disabled, or has a mental health problem or an addiction.’
Within school, we have two Young Carers Leads:
Young Carers Senior Leadership Team Lead:
Mrs Nicola Ingham – Assistant Headteacher
Young Carers Operational Leads:
Mr Kev McCabe – Pastoral lead
Mrs Michelle Larwood – Pastoral team TA
