A campaign is seeking a Young Carers’ Champion in every school serving local pupils.
Vikki Slade, the MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole, is working with MYTIME Young Carers on the campaign, which focuses on children and young people who have caring responsibilities alongside their education.
The campaign is calling for a named “Young Carers’ Champion” in schools, so pupils know who can recognise their situation and point them towards suitable support during the school day.
The information released by the MP’s office says the aim is to have a champion in “every school”, with the message directed at education settings across the constituency and beyond.
MYTIME Young Carers is named as the campaign partner, which links the work to young carers locally, including families in the North Poole area that Vikki Slade represents in Parliament.
The announcement was sent by her office, which described the work as a campaign with MYTIME Young Carers for a Young Carers’ Champion in every school across local communities in Dorset.
