Supporting Young Carers in Telford Schools

Do you have a child who helps care for a family member or friend with an illness, disability, or mental health issue?

If so, your child might be a Young Carer! Young Carers often take on extra responsibilities, like helping with household chores, personal care, or emotional support.

At Newdale, we want to support our Young Carers and ensure they have the help they need to thrive. That’s why we’re working with Telford & Wrekin Council and other local organisations to identify and support Young Carers in our school community.

If you think your child might be a Young Carer, please get in touch with us. We can offer

– Support with schoolwork and attendance

– Emotional support and guidance

– Access to local resources and services

– Opportunities to connect with other Young Carers

To find out more or to let us know about your child, please contact Mrs Millington in the school office or our pastoral manager, Mrs Byrne Corbett.

Let’s work together to support our Young Carers in Telford! 🌈

Tree Danger

Please can we ask parents and children to be extra careful when walking around by the top gate area due to the fallen tree.

This was reported straight after the snow storm however we are yet to receive an inspection of the tree from the local authority. We have reported it again.

We have noticed children playing on and around the tree, please can we ask parents to ensure children stay away from the area as we are concerned about the stability of the tree.
