Home School Link Worker

Being a parent or carer can be very rewarding but it’s also 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• Children who are experiencing difficult times or are withdrawn or anxious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
• Parents/carers whose children are reluctant to attend school or who have been suspended
• Parents/carers who may need support on a wide range of issues or difficulties impacting on their family life e.g. illness, domestic violence, disability, financial difficulties
• School Uniform
• Making and maintaining links with school
• Attending school meetings and appointments with your child
• Signposting to other services for support, help and advice
• Early Help referrals
