Young Carers
Young carers are children and young people, aged 5 – 24 years old, who provide regular and ongoing care to a family member who has a long-term illness, disability, mental health issue or misuses substances. The family member may be a parent, sibling or grandparent living with them.
Caring responsibilities can have a significant impact on young people and can affect their physical and mental health, education and social opportunities. Carers Trust Hillingdon has been supporting young carers since 2001.
At Harmondsworth Primary School, we aim to mitigate the impact of caring on young people through the provision of emotional support, school liaison, information, advice and regular social activities. In addition, we work in partnership with local organisations and schools to identify young carers and raise awareness of their needs.
If you have any queries or would like to discuss young carers further, please do not hesitate to contact the school office and arrange a meeting with our young carer leads:
Miss Mohammadi - Young Carers Lead/ SENDCo
Mrs Matthews - Young Carers Operational Lead
Harmondsworth Primary School achieved the Young Carers in Schools Award 2026-2029
