St Joseph’s RC High School

St Joseph’s RC High School, Newport, commits to the importance of raising awareness and vital support of our young carers and their families through a considered and researched ten-point plan of action. The intention is to deliver better outcomes, experiences and futures for carers and their families:
• ‘Think Carer, Think Family’.
• Support what works best for individual carers as there is no ‘one size fits all’
• Research good practice, share what we do and learn from others
• Ensure we are not just ‘home for the day’ but continue to support beyond the school curriculum and we practice ‘right time, right place’ for carers and families
• Find out what matters most to our carers and families
• Practice open and active partnership working because we cannot support alone
• Make sure relationships are at the centre of everything we do and carers have a trusted person to approach
• Provide staff with the knowledge and skills so everyone can give the best possible support and identify bespoke guidance
• Prioritise health and wellbeing
• Encourage carers to access resources within and beyond school
