Young Carers in Education

Being in education can be a very difficult time for a young carer. For some, it can be a time of bullying and isolation. There are a number of schools in Portsmouth who have created their own young carers support group at school, and also have a lead teacher , who specialises in supporting young carers. A list of the young carers groups, and the lead teachers, can be found here School-Groups

If you are a young carer, or you would like more information about the support that is on offer, please contact the Carers Centre on 023 9285 1864 or 023 9275 6780. Alternatively, if you are a young carer, or you would like to refer a young carer then please complete the young carers referral form.
