What does Family Support look like at Holy Trinity?

At Holy Trinity we believe that our families should be provided with the support, advice and information they require. 

Mrs Jones is our Family Support Worker in school. 

My role in school is to provide support, advice and information to the families within our school community.  I can help you with any worries that you may have in relation to your child's education, behaviour and wellbeing or any worries that you are experiencing. I am also here as someone to talk to if you need it. 

I am the Designated Safeguarding Lead in school, therefore I will also be supporting you in any processes you have with other services and agencies. 

I am trained in the HENRY approach (Health, Exercise and Nutrition for the Really Young) The HENRY approach combines 3 elements: behaviour change strategies, parenting skills and knowledge about food and activity for under 5s and the whole family. Please contact me if you require any support in these areas. 

I am trained in the Incredible Years Parenting Programme. The Incredible Years® evidence-based early intervention parenting programs focus on strengthening parenting competencies and fostering parent involvement in children’s school experiences, to promote children’s academic, social, and emotional skills and reduce conduct problems. Please come and speak to me for any advice and guidance around parenting support.

• Promoting good attendance and punctuality
• Promoting self-esteem and confidence
• Promoting positive behaviour and positive attitudes to learning
