Student and Parent Support Network at Hillview
At Hillview School, we recognize and appreciate the incredible dedication and unique situation of young carers—students under the age of 18 who provide essential support to family members with disabilities, chronic illnesses, mental health challenges, or substance misuse issues. Understanding the unique balancing act that young carers must perform, we strive to create an environment that not only supports academic success but also acknowledges the emotional and physical demands of their roles. Our dedicated resources aim to assist both young carers themselves and those who are aware of their situation, facilitating a deeper understanding of available support.
For those who identify as young carers, or for those who know someone in this position, we warmly invite you to explore the comprehensive resources available on this page. It is crucial for young carers to be aware of their rights and the support systems that exist, designed specifically to ease their burdens. At Hillview, we prioritize open lines of communication and actively encourage young carers to seek the support they deserve. You can easily reach out to our committed Young Carers Leader, Mrs Louiza Bromley, either by emailing bromleyl@hillview.kent.sch.uk or by giving us a call at 01732 352793 and asking for Mrs Bromley. She is here to provide guidance, listen to your concerns, and connect you with the necessary resources.
We hope that the detailed information provided here proves beneficial, and we strongly encourage all young carers to reach out to the various charities listed, as well as to lean on the supportive community at our school. Remember, you are not alone in this journey, and we are here to assist you every step of the way. Together, we can ensure that you have the support needed to balance your caring responsibilities with your education and personal growth.
