The Bulwell Academy has achieved the Carers Federation Quality Standard in Carer Support, recognising its commitment to supporting students who have caring roles at home.
The accreditation acknowledges the Academy’s work to strengthen identification processes and ensure that young carers receive consistent, meaningful support. This has included staff training, clearer internal communication, and stronger links with external organisations.
By embedding carer awareness into everyday practice, the Academy has taken steps to ensure that students are not disadvantaged due to responsibilities beyond their control. Support is focused not only on academic outcomes, but also on wellbeing and engagement.
The Quality Standard provides a framework for continued improvement and reflects The Bulwell Academy’s wider commitment to inclusion, equity, and student-centred support.
