A Young Carer is someone aged 6-18 who provides regular or ongoing care and emotional support towards a family member who is ill, disabled, has a mental health condition or missuses drugs or alcohol. They often take on practical and/or emotional caring responsibilities that would normally be expected of an adult.
At Lyme, we work closely with St. Helens Carers. Our Young Carers Champion here at school is Mrs. Bradbury.
