The Family Support Team at Willow Tree Primary is available for all Willow Tree families. We provide a wide range of services, from drop-in advice on surviving life as a parent, to help with housing and financial concerns. We can signpost families to Salford's Early Help Services.
The Family Support Team runs family activities and classroom based workshops. We are here to listen to the concerns of families, provide advice and guidance and to signpost to helpful agencies. If families struggle with attendance or lateness, we have a range of support to put in place following an assessment of need.
There are two members of the Family Support Team, Hugh Thorpe (Family Officer), and Vikki Scholes (Learning Mentor).
The Family Support Team assesses the needs of families on a daily basis. Often this is done through completion of an Early Help Assessment, with parental consent which details need and identifies clear outcomes and actions. This enables us to support families in a way that really works and sees positive change take place.
If you feel your child needs emotional support please let Mr Thorpe, Mrs Scholes or your child's teacher know and we can arrange for this to happen through talking, art and play.
