How can our Parent Link Worker Help Families?

• Parent/carers whose children are reluctant to attend school or have been excluded
• Parents/carers who may need support on a wide range of issues or difficulties impacting on their family life eg., illness, domestic violence, disability, financial difficulties

The PSLW can also:

• Help with links between home and school
• Support parents/carers at school meetings
• Help parents/carers find their way through the education system
• Guide parents/carers towards other sources of help, advice and support
