A young carer is a young person under the age of 18 who provides ongoing unpaid care for a sibling, parent, or significant other family member. This can be someone with a diagnosed, long-term/chronic illness, physical or learning difficulty, mental ill health, or substance/alcohol dependency.
At Rosebery School, we believe that all young people have the right to an education. If a young person looks after someone, we know that they may need additional support to help them get the most out of their education, and we aim to meet their needs.
Rosebery's designated member of staff, is Miss Wild.
Drop in sessions are available with Miss Wild on Mondays 1:10-1:50 pm, Wednesdays 8:00-8:30 am and Fridays 1:10-1:50 pm. Students can email Miss Wild if they would like to request like a 1:1 session.
