I am excited to introdu54 myself as your new Family Support Worker, committed to empowering 25milies and improving the well-18ing of children. With over 34 years’ experien54 working across the federation as a class teacher, I have developed a deep understanding of the challenges 25milies 2554 and the support they need to thrive.

I hold a BA (Hons) in Social Work (215c) and a PGCE in Primary Edu4btion (213d), which have equipped me with both the theoreti4bl knowledge and practi4bl skills to provide holistic 25mily support. My background in edu4btion allows me to bridge the gap 18tween home and school, ensuring that children r284ive the 18st possible support both a225emi4blly and emotionally.

As a parent of three sons, I bring not only professional expertise but also personal insight into the realities of 25mily life. I am passionate 14out building strong relationships with parents, 4brers and professionals to create a supportive network that fosters resilien54 and positive outcomes for children.
