Supporting our Young Carers

If you believe your child is a Young Carer, we would like to hear from you.

A young carer is someone who is aged between 5-18 that may look after a relative.

They may have to look after someone who has:

• poor mental health
• a physical disability
• problematic substance misuse
• requires extra emotional support
• needs extra help sometimes

We are keen to support our pupils in school and work with the East Ayrshire Young Carers group who offer a number of activities to children who have a caring role to play at home.

Please fill in the form if your child is a Young Carer.
