Young Carers
Windwhistle Young Carers 
Young Carers are children under 18, who provide care for a Family Member who has a disability, illness or Mental Health condition. Young Carers may perform a variety of tasks including;
- Cooking
- Cleaning
- Shopping
- Collecting Medication
- Personal Care
- Emotional Support
Here at Windwhistle, we recognise and celebrate our Young Carers by providing a safe, understanding environment that they can rely on when they have needs of their own. We hold weekly activities and chat sessions, intended to allow understanding through shared experiences. Young Carers groups run across all year groups for fun, friendship and support.
If you feel your child may be a Young Carer, please speak to the Pastoral Team, or your child's Class Teacher.
There are also Young Carers support groups running in the local area, outside of School;
