Family Support Worker & Learning Mentor

Introduction

As part of the usual School support package, I work with children individually or in small groups to support their learning, promote good social skills, address issues around behaviour and provide emotional check-ins to help them cope during the School day. Every child has different needs and those needs can change over time or can be affected by whatever is going on for you as a family.

About US

Our Story

I work with parents, grandparents and carers to help families overcome any barriers to their children’s learning by providing advice and support when things are getting difficult. This can happen from time to time for all sorts of reasons and I hope you will feel comfortable approaching me for help around issues like health, bereavement, parenting skills, relationship breakdown, feeling included, moving onto Secondary or anything else you might be dealing with as a family

Important Note

We offer a wide range of parent workshops which you can book onto (see our Parent Learning page for an up-to-date list). I can also assist you with referrals to other services your family may need such as the Schools Health Service, Early Help, Paediatrician & many more.

  • You are welcome to come in for a chat about anything you are worried about or to answer any questions you might have about your child’s wellbeing.
  • If you would like to attend a workshop or arrange another time to meet for a chat, please contact me on the usual School number.
