Supporting Families Offer
Hello! My name is Natalie Graham, I am the Family Liaison Lead at Riversides. I have been working in schools for the past couple of years and am a mum of a son with special educational needs, so I understand how difficult and challenging life can be at times.
My role in school is to provide support, advice and information to the families within our school community. I can help you with any worries you may have about your child’s education and wellbeing. I am also here as someone to talk to if you need support yourself.
I can meet you at home or in school at a time that suits you. Any advice and support that I offer will be confidential, although concerns relating to the safeguarding of children will always be dealt with in accordance with school’s Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy. I may not have all the answers, but I will help you to work out how to find them.
Support for families includes:
- Providing information and signposting to other services in your local area
- Liaising with external services such as housing and social care
- Attendance and support at meetings with school and/or other agencies.
- Helping to complete paperwork and forms e.g. housing, school letters and benefits.
- Advice and support to promote good attendance.
- Access to training and parent workshops in school.
I am available Monday to Friday 8.00 am to 4.00 pm.
My email address is Natalie.graham@riversidesschool.co.uk or you can phone school on
01905 21261.
I look forward to working with you.
