Young carers in North Somerset are to be given special registration cards - designed to ease any issues at school caused by their extra responsibilities by discretely letting teachers know their situation.

The scheme's being launched by the Mayor of Weston, at the Crossroads Cares Celebration Day at the Winter Gardens today.

The even between 10.30 and 3 will also feature information and advice stalls for people of all ages who care for a loved one.
