Family Support/Early Help
School and external partners provide SS John and Monica’s Family Support offer. This service helps children and families overcome adversity and disadvantage, particularly when affecting a child’s emotional well-being, mental health, and educational achievement. Our Family Support worker helps children and young people experiencing difficulties at school or home.
The support:
• motivates parents to bring about change
• strengthens relationships within families
• promotes children’s well-being and resilience.
When children and young people are experiencing problems, these can present themselves through changes in behaviour, low educational attainment, absence, or poor self-esteem. Working with the family, school, and other agencies, Family Support workers identify the underlying causes and help families address them.
Our family Support workers empower families to effect lasting change through one-to-one and group work. Support work is child-centred and led by the needs of the individual family. It has a lifelong effect by improving attendance, behaviour, self-esteem, and confidence, overcoming obstacles to learning, and raising aspirations.
Please contact Mrs Elliott (DSL), Mr Ullah (DDSL), Mrs Nicholls (DDSL), Mrs Riches (DDSL) or Mrs Doyle (DDSL), Mrs Ali (DDSL) on 0121 464-5868 if you wish to discuss the Early Help offer and receive family support.
