What does a Child and Family Support Worker do?

 

A FSW is able to offer impartial support, advice and guidance to parents/carers.

Advice and support is confidential, although concerns relating to the safeguarding of children will always be dealt with in accordance to the school’s Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy.

I may not have all the answers, but hopefully we can work together to find them!

 

Support for pupils includes:

· Promoting good attendance and punctuality

· Promoting self-esteem and confidence

· Promoting positive behaviour and positive attitudes to learning

· Providing personal, social and emotional support to children

 

Support for families includes:

· Advice and support in promoting positive behaviour at home

· Attendance and support at school and other agency meetings

· Liaising with a range of external services

· Providing information to services available in the local area

How do I do it?

 

As a Family Support Worker I  give support to families in many different ways including:

One-to-one working with parents and carers including talking, listening and supporting

Finding practical strategies with parents/carers and children to improve learning, behaviour and relationships

Referring and signposting to local services

Drop-in coffee mornings.

Why might you need to contact me?

 

As parents/carers, every day a new challenge or question may arise and you may wonder what the answer or solution is.
