Young Carers Angel Award
Young Carers Champion: Siobhan Creswell ELSA
In May 2024, St Mary’s welcomed Russell Minns from Surrey Young Carers to renew our Young Carers Angel Award, an award that is made to schools that demonstrate they are actively supporting young carers. Schools must meet eight standards, checked by the Surrey Young Carer staff and young carers. These include having a carers’ champion, a carers support group, training for staff and assemblies about young carers to help all pupils understand the issues that our young carers face. The group also supports pupils to self-identify and find the help they need in a caring environment. We are delighted to have renewed this award and grateful for the hard work and compassionate support our young carers receive from the Home School Link Worker (HSLW) and Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA) who run the group.
