MOREDON Primary School’s dedicated work supporting their young carers was honoured yesterday.

The school has reached level three status in the project overseen by Swindon Carers Centre.

Helen Wollington, assistant principal, said: “We have nine young carers in the school and were pleased to be approached by Swindon Careers Centre to take part in programme.

“It has seen increased staff training and support for our young carers.

“We have been working towards this criteria since November, achieving our level one then, and the latter two and three standards this month.

“This has really helped us raise awareness of our young carers. Providing this support is really essential and all the hard work has paid off.”

Swindon Carers Centre is based in Sanford Street and provides help to carers of all ages.
