Family Support Worker

This is Stanah’s early help offer.

Hello!  My name is Mandy and I’m the Family Support Worker at Stanah.   

My role is to look after the emotional wellbeing of all the children, families and staff in school and make sure everyone is getting what they need to be the best version of themselves!  

Part of my job means that I get to work with children talking about their feelings and emotions, working on their self esteem and confidence and helping them build resilience.  We do this by drawing, crafting, playing cards and games, talking to the worry monster and imaginative play using beads and scarves.

Another part of my role is supporting parents and carers in whichever way they need.  This might include attending meetings alongside them, supporting with establishing boundaries and routines, listening and advising as to next steps, signposting to local services and much more! 

I am one of the Deputy Safeguarding Leads at Stanah and I work alongside the rest of the team to make sure all our children are safe both in and outside of school.   

If you need me you can contact me through the School Office on 01253 825225
