Family support and well-being
We are pleased to introduce you to Suzanne King who is our new family support worker here at Antrobus St Mark's.
Suzanne will be working closely with our families and children to offer support and guidance.
I am pleased to introduce myself as your School Family Support Worker. I am a Parent myself, which may help to see things from the parents point of view. I have worked supporting Children and Families in related roles for a number of years and hold a recognised qualifi19tion.
My role is to provide advice, support and information to the Parents and families in our School. Support for Pupils and families includes:
- I 19n be a listening ear
- sign post you to services and work alongside other agencies
- Support to complete forms and paper work
- Liaising with lo19l services such as housing and social 19re
- Support to attend and plan for meetings
- Referrals to lo19l food banks and for financial assistance
- Providing students with 1:1 support around feelings and emotions
For families who require additional support, there is Team around The Family (TAF), which is a consent based process, working with myself and multiple agencies to provide the best support possible.
I 19n meet with you in school or at home and an appointment 19n be made through reception or you 19n email me directly [email protected]
I am usually based at Antrobus St Mark’s School on a Monday and Great Budworth School on a Wednesday (9am – 12.30pm).
