Two Pembrokeshire schools have been recognised for their support of Young Carers
Milford Haven School and Greenhill School in Tenby have achieved the Bronze level of the Investors in Carers (IiC) scheme.
The scheme helps schools recognise and support children and young people, under the age of 18, who take on caring responsibilities for a family member.
Developed by Pembrokeshire County Council and the Hywel Dda University Health Board, the IiC scheme is an integral part of both organisations’ young carers’ strategies.
Initially targeted at GP surgeries, the scheme has since been extended to include community pharmacies, hospitals and now secondary schools.
For further information of the scheme contact Pennie Muir pennie.muir@wales.nhs.uk
