COVID19 - Pastoral and family support for children who are at risk of disengagement from school (360G-Walcot-0061E00001IdOaVQAV)

This project will offer targeted support and care for low income vulnerable children and families to help them engage with school and learning. Two new posts for September 2020 will be created: Family Support Worker and Behaviour, Guidance and Learning Support Worker. The two new members will (1) work one-to-one and in small groups with children who need extra help to engage. (2) liaise with individual parents and families and wider services, to support the wider needs of households, build a positive relationship between the family, the school and other services, and help parents to help their children. The family support worker will work with families who have high needs, including attending case meetings with social workers .The learning mentor will work with pupils and families affected mentally by Covid-19 and other circumstances which causes them distress in school.
