FAMILY LIAISON OFFICER
Hello my name is Michelle Westlake. I am the school based Family Liaison Officer.
I’m here to listen, offer support, empathise and care. I am available to work with all parents who need information about school matters as well as requiring help accessing other agencies. I have access to an extensive range of information and can sign-post parents to a variety of services.
Some examples of areas in which I can support parents are:
- Attendance Issues
- Behaviour Support
- Classroom Issues e.g. behaviour/friendships etc
- Family Learning
- Family Circumstances affecting your child e.g. parental separation, bereavement etc
- Free School Meals
- Friendship Issues
- Homework Concerns
- Medical/Health Concerns
- Offer signposting information to other agencies, e.g. School Nurse, CAMHS, Sure Start Transition Information
- SATs concerns
- Transition to Secondary School
Coffee Mornings
I will organise Coffee Mornings/Afternoons to give parents the opportunity to meet, talk and share concerns. This time is designed to be a friendly informal session.
"It’s good to have someone to share concerns with."
"I have appreciated Michelle’s time and understanding."
