Family Support

Hayley Garnett is the Family Support Worker and DSL at Pennine School.  

Hayley works closely with children, parents/carers and family members on issues that may be affecting them. Hayley can offer support and advice on a wide range of issues and can signpost parents/carers towards outside agencies if required.

In school, children are offered informal one-to-one or small group chat/play sessions and wellbeing groups, as well as being able to refer children for targeted therapeutic support. Alongside this, parents and carers have access to wellbeing support in the form of friendly one-to-one chats which can be on an ad hoc or a more regular basis.

Hayley works closely with staff, outside agencies and organisations to improve opportunities for children and their families at Pennine school. An integral part of her role is linking families with other agencies, such as school nurses, parenting workshops/programmes, the Children and Family Wellbeing Service, counselling services, financial and housing advice services, and parent support groups.

If you are feeling like you need some support, feel free to contact the school office on 01706 399787 and ask for the Hayley. No problem is too big or too small, she is here to listen.
