Midlothian Young Carers

The impact of Covid19 in the past months, as well as the impending school holiday period will have an impact on our Young Carers where normal supports at school are not in place and there may be additional responsibilities coupled with less contact with groups and friends.  Shared Care Scotland https://www.sharedcarescotland.org.uk/resources/short-breaks-for-strange-times/ and Young Scot https://young.scot/campaigns/national/young-carers are offering lots of online activities, supports and vouchers available to Young Carers aged 12 and over. However, any Young Carer requiring additional support just now please contact your school or during the holidays contact Youngcarer@midlothian.gov.uk for advice.
