A Family Support Worker would be allocated to your school or setting to work alongside a counsellor or as a standalone worker if you do not have one of our counsellors in place.
This worker will enhance the overall effectiveness of the services you offer your families by engaging with parents and carers.
The family support workers will attend meetings and support the school’s overall targets for attainment and increased well-being. They can be employed to work alongside your school counsellor, supporting parents and carers in implementing strategies taught in school counselling sessions, and in implementing and sustaining positive changes to home life and daily routines.
Our aim is to support pupils’ wellbeing which, in turn, will promote their progress and attainment in school.
We work with pupils, staff and families to improve behaviour both at home and in school.
We believe that behaviour support and early intervention must be individual to each learner. Our work, therefore, is tailored to meet the needs of individual pupils following consultation with staff, parents and carers.
This can include counselling, play therapy, individual or group sessions and family support wok. We believe positive behaviour modification has a higher success rate when families engage and are supported to work towards the same goal. Having a holistic approach has a greater chance of success instead of firefighting problems.
