We are thrilled to announce that Newcastle Carers has accredited Gosforth Academy as a carer friendly school. This award recognises and celebrates our commitment to supporting young people with caring responsibilities. As part of the award criteria, we have made three pledges to help identify and support young carers in our school:
1. We will share information about young carers on FROG, our learning platform.
2. We will offer every carer a key contact in school to seek support and signposting from.
3. We will share information about young carers on our website, including a link to the Newcastle Carers website.
We are proud to be a carer friendly school dedicated to identifying and supporting young people with caring responsibilities. If you would like to find out more about the Carer Friendly School accreditation, visit Newcastle Carers website at www.newcastlecarers.org.uk/carer-friendly-schools/
