Written question asked by Andrew Snowden (Conservative) on Wednesday, 11 June 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Friday, 13 June 2025. It was answered by Janet Daby (Labour) on Monday, 23 June 2025 on behalf of the Department for Education.
Carers: Young People
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to provide support in (a) schools and (b) colleges for young carers to help them balance educational responsibilities with caring duties.
- Answer
-
The impact of caring responsibilities on a young person’s education has been hidden for too long. The department is using school census data to shine a light on young carer’s attendance, suspensions and exclusions, and is aiming to publish data on their educational progress and attainment this autumn.
This data will support our work to break down barriers to opportunity for every child, at every stage, ensuring our reforms to both education and to children’s social care work for young carers.
