Young Carers

Pupils can self refer as a young carer through our termly Health and Wellbeing Questionnaires. All pupils complete these questionnaires at the start of a new term. One of the questions outlines what a young carer is and asks pupils if they think that they might be a young carer. This is then followed up by the Young Carer Coordinator and the Heads of House Team who will speak directly to the pupil and inform them about the supports available in school such as:

• a referral to the Clackmannanshire Young Carer Project to complete a Young Carers Statement

• the statement helps pupils access funds and grants that are available to them

• 1:1 support from Falkirk and Clackmannanshire Carers Centre

• 1:1 Wellbeing Support from school

• Monthly drop ins and a dedicated Goggle classroom

• Noticeboard located outside the Wellbeing Hub signposting relevant supports and advice

• The young carer statement - https://young.scot/get-informed/what-is-a-young-carer-statement/
