Who is a Young Carer?
A Young Carer is someone under 18 who helps care for a family member with illness, disability, mental health
issues, or substance misuse.

Support at Lulworth & Winfrith CE Primary School
We identify and support Young Carers so they can enjoy school and reach their potential. Pupils can speak to Miss Hardy for help.
