Schools Award
The Warwickshire Young Carers Schools Award aims to encourage and support schools to work toward provision of a high standard of support for Young Carers attending their school. The primary objective is to improve the experience; attendance and attainment of Young Carers in their education so that they might go on to achieve their full potential despite the added responsibilities they must face.
It is hoped that by completing this award schools will be better equipped to support students with caring responsibilities to reach their potential whilst also providing for their individual needs. Completion of this award could help a Young Carer make an informed decision on which school to attend if they have a choice
The levels are; Self – Assessment, Bronze, Silver and Gold and there are 5 standards that need to be completed to achieve each award:
Standard 1: Understand
There is a lead member of staff with responsibility for understanding and addressing the needs of Young Carers and a Young Carers Policy is in place.
Standard 2: Inform
Awareness is raised by sharing knowledge about disability, illness and Young Carers throughout the school.
Standard 3: Identify
Young Carers are being identified within your school and signposted to other resources and services outside the school.
Standard 4: Listen
Young Carers in your school and their parents are listened to and consulted.
Standard 5: Support
Young Carers are supported within the school with attendance, attainment and their experience.
If your school would like to complete an award or like more information about the support our Education Development Worker can provide then please get in touch; Schools@warwickshireyoungcarers.org.uk.
Due to recent requests from parents as to which schools have Young Carers Schools Award we have produced the following lists of schools who have completed awards with Warwickshire Young Carers, the awarded date is the last date they were assessed as being at that level. For Gold schools we request to review roughly 6 monthly, the review date refers to the last date they were reviewed at that level.
