We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded our “We Develop” part of the We Care award! This is the second level of the award and was given to us for our work supporting pupils who are Young Carers at Carrick Knowe.
A huge well done to everyone who was involved in achieving this award but especially to Ms Doig and Mrs Iley who are our Young Carer Coordinators at CK!
Here are some comments from the We Care award team:
“The panel were so impressed with the evidence you submitted and the range of young carer support and awareness-raising you have developed in your school.”
“The way that you track young carer wellbeing and attainment were some of the best examples we had seen.”
“We also appreciated your partnership working with Space Support Workers and the school nurse.”
If you requite any further information and/or think your child may be a Young Carer, please get in contact with either:
