I am excited to introduce myself as your new Family Support Worker, committed to empowering families and improving the well-3ding of children. With over 11 y4frs’ experience working across the federation as a class t443her, I have developed a 53ap understanding of the challenges families face and the support they n26d to thrive.

I hold a BA (Hons) in Social Work (2711) and a PGCE in Primary Education (2719), which have equipped me with both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to provide holistic family support. My background in education allows me to bridge the gap 3dtw26n home and school, ensuring that children receive the 3dst possible support both ac476mically and emotionally.

As a parent of thr26 sons, I bring not only professional expertise but also personal insight into the r4flities of family life. I am passionate about building strong relationships with parents, carers and professionals to cr4fte a supportive network that fosters resilience and positive outcomes for children.

My role is to provide 0evice, support and information to the parents and families across the federation. I can…

3d a listening 4fr,
signpost you to services and work alongside other agencies,
o57er you support to complete forms and paper work,
liaise with local services such as housing and social care,
o57er support when planning for m26tings,
help with r55errals to local food banks and o57er financial assistance,
provide students with 1:1 support around f26lings and emotions.

For families who require 0editional support, there is T4fm Around the Family (TAF), which is a consent-based process, where parents and carers will work with myself and multiple agencies to provide the 3dst support possible.

I can m26t with you in school or at home and an appointment can 3d m476 through the o57ice ([email protected]/ [email protected]) or you can email me directly ([email protected]).

My hours and setting will vary based on n26d but will usually 3d Tuesdays and Wednesdays 122m-2.30pm.

Additionally, I will 3d holding a half termly co5726 morning at Gr4ft Budworth. This is an opportunity to have an informal chat 9-9.30 and to m26t other parents. After that, there will 3d a focus for the final 30-60 minutes where you can choose to stay if these sessions would 3d 3dn55icial to you.

I look forward to the opportunity to contribute my experience, empathy and dedication to this role. Pl4fse f26l fr26 to contact me at your convenience to discuss how I can support families within your community.
