This , we're recognising the incredible contribution of young carers across the UK.
Many young carers take on responsibilities well beyond their years while balancing school, friendships and their own wellbeing. Through our Skills for Life programmes, we help children and young people build emotional resilience, develop coping strategies and gain the confidence to navigate everyday challenges.
We're proud to work with organisations supporting young carers, helping ensure they have the tools, understanding and support they need to thrive.

We were delighted to deliver Skills for Life programme training for educators in the Republic of Korea recently.

It is encouraging to see growing international interest in supporting children's emotional wellbeing and resilience through evidence-based social and emotional learning programmes.

Participants highlighted their commitment to promoting children's happiness, emotional wellbeing and healthy development, and we are excited to see how the learning from these sessions is put into practice.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to such engaging and positive discussions.

How can we talk to children and young people about an uncertain future without increasing anxiety?
This Saturday, Jayne Carter - Early Years Programme Development Lead will be joining Geetika Goyal and Riya Peruvelil for a thoughtful online conversation exploring how parents, educators and carers can help young people build hope, resilience and confidence in a rapidly changing world.
Together, they'll discuss topics that many young people are already thinking about, including AI, climate change, identity, belonging and the future of work.

This isn't a "how-to" webinar. It's a space for reflection, discussion and practical insights on supporting the next generation with purpose rather than panic.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re encouraging everyone to take action for children’s mental health. 💚
Sometimes the smallest actions can make the biggest difference:
✨ Checking in with a child
✨ Talking openly about feelings
✨ Helping children build coping skills
✨ Creating supportive school and home environments
At Partnership for Children, we work with schools to help children develop emotional wellbeing, resilience and life skills that support positive mental health now and in the future.
Because when children feel heard, supported and emotionally safe, they are better able to learn, grow and thrive.
