Young Carers
At Barnsbury we are dedicated to supporting Young Carers whose lives are impacted by their responsibilities in caring for a parent or another family member. We greatly respect their efforts and will strive to ensure they have complete access to education. Additionally, we will offer pastoral support to help alleviate some of the emotional burdens they may experience as they take on tasks and responsibilities beyond their years.
On Wednesday 13th March 2024 - Young Carers Action Day, Barnsbury signed up to the Young Carers Covenant. This is a UK-wide commitment to young carers and young adult carers. It sets out ten key outcomes that young carers from across the UK have said are key to improving their lives.

If you believe that your child is a young carer please get in touch with the school.
