Being a parent/Carer can be a rewarding role, it's also probably one of the hardest jobs you will ever do! 

 My name is Lynda Burgess and I am the Home School Link Worker 

• I can help with children who are experiencing difficult times or are withdrawn or anxious
• parents/carers experiencing difficulties with their child's behaviour
• families who are reacting to change, such as parental separation or bereavement
