Every school should have a #YoungCarersChampion to support young carers to have equal access to education and all the opportunities it can bring. Please sign the petition to enable this to become a reality. @CarersTrust
Our Policy Manager, Andy McGowan, met with the Children's Commissioner at an event organised by our network partner, @CaringTogether , last week. In this video they discuss the importance of the Government ensuring that every young carer has a young carers champion in their school. This is why we are backing @VikkiSlade72 MP's petition to make sure this happens, as it can make a huge difference in helping young carers to balance learning and caring. bit.ly/4zCTC6M #ChampionYoungCarers Video credit: @ChildrensComm
