Home School Link Worker

At Trinity Oaks, we strongly believe that the best outcomes for young children occur when parents and carers work in partnership with our school.

One of the ways this is achieved is by having a Home School Link Worker

Our Home School Link Worker is Mrs Katy Whitford

Home School Link Workers work with children and families to help them in different ways and some examples include

• Children who are anxious or withdrawn
• Parents and carers experiencing difficulties managing their child’s behaviour
• Parents, carers and children who are experiencing change, such as parental separation or bereavement
• Parents and carers whose children are often absent from school or where getting to school on time is a problem
• Parents and carers who may need support on a wide range of issues impacting on their family life, such as illness, separation, domestic violence, bereavement

Katy can provide

• A chance to talk in a confidential and non-judgemental environment
• One to one support and advice
• Parenting guidance on developing and maintaining positive discipline
• Help to access grants
• Home visits to support families and children
• Links to other agencies

Katy will often be on the playground in the mornings if you would like to speak to her.  Alternatively you can contact Katy by email kwhitford@trinityoaks.surrey.sch.uk or call the school office in confidence.
