Thinking about university? Join our Higher Education Fair at AEW on Monday 16 November, 10am–1pm, Old Hall Street, WV1 3AU. Meet universities, explore courses, entry requirements and funding, and get advice on your next steps. #HigherEducation #University #AEW
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.
