Parents
I engage with and support parents with their concerns over a range of issues. I work with them to find solutions. If I am unable to help directly, I will signpost them to professionals who can offer specific help. I work alongside parents so they know that they are not alone. I am mindful that some lone parents might want an informal chat, especially if they do not have family around them. It is a pleasure to engage on all levels.
On a practical level, I distribute food parcels to families that are experiencing difficulties. All parents are welcome to contact me at any time as I am usually on the school gate or in the school office. I work alongside multidisciplinary teams, assisting with organising a variety of workshops for parents. We are delighted to encourage parent voice, empowering them to explain what they would like for the children at Winterbourne.
