What I can offer you as parents:
My role is to support parents to be involved with all aspects of their child’s school life. I have attended various personal development courses, continued my personal education and have gained life experience in many areas. Listed below are just some of the issues I can advise and support families on.
Supporting parents and carers to get involved in school life
New starts and settling in
Training, education and employment
I work closely with other members of staff, particularly the school Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCo). I liaise with outside agencies such as School Nurse, CAMHS, Educational Psychologists and Parenting Support agencies.
As well as offering individual support to families, I can help parents access courses in a variety of subjects within the local community and accompany parents/carers to various services if required.
If I can't help directly then I am able to offer support and point parents, and their families, in the right direction to the person that can.
