💙 Supporting Carers Week - How advisers can support students with caring responsibilities During Carers Week, we’re shining a light on the vital role advisers play in supporting students who balance education with caring responsibilities. Students who provide unpaid care for a family member or friend often juggle applications and decision‑making alongside significant commitments at home. With the right conversations and support in place, higher education can still feel achievable and realistic for them. Our Adviser Toolkit: Supporting students with caring responsibilities, developed in partnership with Carers Trust, offers practical guidance at every stage of the journey. Explore the toolkit and discover practical steps you can take to make a real difference for student carers: https://lnkd.in/eX5k7fU9 Thank you to the advisers who continue to champion fair access and progression for carers, this week and every week. #CarersWeek #StudentCarers #AdviserSupport #WideningParticipation #UCASAdvisers
