Student carers juggle their studies with significant responsibilities at home. A Student Carer Support Scheme would provide practical and emotional support to help them succeed.

Key Features:

• Priority Timetabling – Condensed schedules to minimise time spent on campus.
• Flexible Deadlines & Remote Study Options – Ensuring that caring responsibilities don’t force students to drop out.
• Dedicated Carers’ Hub – A space to study, rest, and connect with other carers.
• Financial Support & Travel Bursaries – Funding to cover transport costs or emergency expenses.
• Wellbeing & Counselling Services – Mental health support tailored to the challenges of being a student carer.

Impact:

• Helps carers balance their education and responsibilities.
• Reduces the risk of burnout and mental health struggles.
• Creates a stronger support network and sense of belonging.
