A Message from Madeleine

“Dear parents and carers,

As your Parent Support Adviser (PSA) at Shaw Primary School, my role is to provide you with support, advice, and information in order to ensure your children are happy, healthy, and able to benefit as much as possible from school and the opportunities it offers.

We all know that parenting isn't always easy, and that things can get challenging and difficult at times. Occasionally, problems at home or at school can be upsetting or worrying for the whole family, and it may be hard for parents to deal with these problems alone.

I can offer:

• An opportunity to talk through your issues and concerns in complete confidentiality.
• Friendly, non-judgemental advice and support.
• Parenting courses and family learning.
• Signposting to a range of specialist agencies or services.

I can help you with issues such as:

• Dealing with challenging behaviour.
• Supporting your child with homework.
• Preparing your child for secondary school.
• Improving communications with school.
• Building happy family relationships.
• Stress management.
• Anything else you need in order to be the best parent you can be!

If you would like to make an appointment to see me, I am at Shaw School on Mondays and Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. I am also available at other times by prior arrangement.

As well as one-to-one sessions, I can offer workshops on a range of topics. If you think you might be interested in attending a group session, do let me know.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Yours faithfully,

Madeleine Webber”
