Young Carers

Young carers at Penketh South Primary

Does your child provide care for someone at home who is unable to cope without their support- due to illness, disability, Mental health issues or addiction?

It could be helping with everyday tasks or providing emotional support.

The valuable work young carers do deserves recognition and support.

At Penketh South, we support Young Carers in school and work very closely with the Young Carers Team at Warrington Carers Hub.

We have a dedicated Young Carer Champion – Mrs S Bennett

Here is the referral process for our young carers

We also have fun activities and events for our young carers throughout the year – a chance to get together with other children who have caring roles. The activities range from film afternoons to trips out of school.

If you would like any further information regarding what we offer our young carers, please contact our young carer champion Mrs S Bennett by calling the main school office on 726558
