Orchard Primary School
Young Carer’s Day
26th January 2017
D Lyman.
Who are young carers?
A young carer is someone under the age of 18
who helps looks after someone in their family,
or a friend, who is ill, disabled or misuses
substances such as drugs or alcohol.
Which one is a young carer?
Young carer’s are just young
people with caring responsibilities.
They look the same as everyone
else but can lead very different
lives.
Some things a young carer might do.
• Practical tasks such as cooking housework and shopping.
• Physical care, such as helping someone out of bed.
• Emotional support, such as talking to someone who is
distressed.
• Personal care, such as helping someone dress.
• Managing the family budget and collecting prescriptions.
• Helping to give medicine.
• Helping someone communicate.
• Looking after brothers and sisters.
What might a young carer do?
Fact’s about young carers
• 1 in 3 young carers spend between 11-20
hours each week caring.
• The average age of a young carer = 13
How many young carer’s are there?
• There are about 700,000 young carers in the
UK. ( BBC 2010)
• That’s about 1 in 12 secondary aged pupils but
we also know that there are young carer’s in
primary schools, so these numbers are most
probably much higher.
• There are likely to be young carers in every
school and college.
Being a young carer can have a big impact
on the things that are important to
growing up.
• It can affect a young person’s health, social life and self
confidence.
• Many young carer’s struggle to juggle their education and
caring which can cause pressure and stress.
• In a survey, 39% said that nobody in their school was aware of
their caring role.
• 26% have been bullied at school because of their caring role
• 1-20 miss time at school because of their caring role.
But young people can learn lots of useful skills being a young
carer.

What do young carers need?
• The time to be a young person.
• The same opportunities as their friends.
• Good support for the person they help look
after.
• Their rights acknowledged so that they can
discuss their needs for support.
Support for young carers.
• If you think you are a young carer and would like to
talk, you can speak to a member of staff in school in
confidence. They can help you find the support you
need.
• Bexley Moorings support young carers between the
ages of 10- 15 years, with a range of activities such as
befrienders and support groups. School can refer you.

Poem by a young carer
We Stand like mountains
Mountains stand tall
They never, ever fall
Young Carers stand small on the land
We're people's defender
We never surrender
It just goes to show
However many blows
That we suffer
We'll prove tougher
The cared for person is like the sun,
their rays affect all those about them on a daily basis.
On good days their achievements are marvelled at
and on bad days they are supported by all around them.
They are seen and their influence
is always felt.
I am like the moon, I am not seen unless you look for me,
I affect so many things but they often go unnoticed..
I am awake at night and out shone in the day.

  • 1. Orchard Primary School Young Carer’s Day 26th January 2017 D Lyman.
  • 2. Who are young carers? A young carer is someone under the age of 18 who helps looks after someone in their family, or a friend, who is ill, disabled or misuses substances such as drugs or alcohol.
  • 3. Which one is a young carer? Young carer’s are just young people with caring responsibilities. They look the same as everyone else but can lead very different lives.
  • 4. Some things a young carer might do. • Practical tasks such as cooking housework and shopping. • Physical care, such as helping someone out of bed. • Emotional support, such as talking to someone who is distressed. • Personal care, such as helping someone dress. • Managing the family budget and collecting prescriptions. • Helping to give medicine. • Helping someone communicate. • Looking after brothers and sisters.
  • 5. What might a young carer do?
  • 6. Fact’s about young carers • 1 in 3 young carers spend between 11-20 hours each week caring. • The average age of a young carer = 13
  • 7. How many young carer’s are there? • There are about 700,000 young carers in the UK. ( BBC 2010) • That’s about 1 in 12 secondary aged pupils but we also know that there are young carer’s in primary schools, so these numbers are most probably much higher. • There are likely to be young carers in every school and college.
  • 8. Being a young carer can have a big impact on the things that are important to growing up. • It can affect a young person’s health, social life and self confidence. • Many young carer’s struggle to juggle their education and caring which can cause pressure and stress. • In a survey, 39% said that nobody in their school was aware of their caring role. • 26% have been bullied at school because of their caring role • 1-20 miss time at school because of their caring role. But young people can learn lots of useful skills being a young carer.

  • 12. Poem by a young carer We Stand like mountains Mountains stand tall They never, ever fall Young Carers stand small on the land We're people's defender We never surrender It just goes to show However many blows That we suffer We'll prove tougher The cared for person is like the sun, their rays affect all those about them on a daily basis. On good days their achievements are marvelled at and on bad days they are supported by all around them. They are seen and their influence is always felt. I am like the moon, I am not seen unless you look for me, I affect so many things but they often go unnoticed.. I am awake at night and out shone in the day.
