We are here to help!
At The Russett School we value our families and our Family Liaison Worker. Helen works closely with parents, carers, and children to establish positive relationships. As part of her role, Helen supports parents/carers to develop and enhance their parenting skills.
One of Helen’s main roles is to support parental engagement with school and other agencies. Some families require assistance in overcoming barriers to services and Helen is able to bridge that gap. Her role sees her working alongside other professionals and agencies, and she also provides a complementary service to teachers and other staff in addressing the needs of our children.
