Supporting Young Carers

About Cheshire Young Carers & Their Work with Mill View Primary School

Cheshire Young Carers is a charity dedicated to identifying and supporting children and young people who help care for a family member. They work closely with schools across Cheshire, including Mill View Primary School, to ensure that young carers are recognised and receive the support they need to thrive both academically and personally. They offer various forms of assistance, from one-to-one support to group activities and respite opportunities.

How to Make a Referral to Cheshire Young Carers

Staff or family members can follow a straightforward referral process for a child at Mill View Primary School who they believe is a young carer and could benefit from support from Cheshire Young Carers. We would encourage you to reach out so the team can assess needs and offer appropriate assistance.

Assessment Process

Once they receive your referral, a member of the team will get in touch with school to arrange an education assessment. This is a chance for Cheshire Young Carers to learn more about the young person's unique circumstances and for them to understand how they can help. This assessment is always conducted sensitively and with the young person's well-being at its heart.
