Teen Health 11-19 advice for young carers
The Teen Health 11-19 service will follow the Department of Health Supporting the health and wellbeing of young carers guidance and care pathway where appropriate.
Teen Health and Student Support staff can:
- tell you about where you can get help outside school
- answer questions you may have about the illness or condition of the person you look after
- check that you’re okay and coping with the situation
- refer you for a carer’s assessment
You can make your first appointment with the health and wellbeing officer or student support staff through:
- the teacher or staff member you chose to speak to
- going along to a drop-in clinic at your school
- your doctor (GP)
- a referral form which you can get from your head of year
- your parent or guardian who can make an appointment for you through the school
