Early Help Support & SEND
We can be contacted via the school office on 01925 632 730.
At Bewsey Lodge Primary School this is some of the early help we offer you:
Parent/carer ‘drop in’ – come and see Mrs Price/Mrs Jones (appointments not always needed), if you need support with your child’s learning, behaviour or anything else that you may be worried about.
Talk Time – if your child has any worries encourage them to speak to an adult in school.
Early Help Assessment (EHA) - an EHA involves listening to you to find out what help you need and talking about what is working well in your life. Based on what you say and what help you would like, a plan is formulated so that professionals can work together to make sure you get the right sort of help. Mrs Jones/Mrs Price meet with parents/carers to carry out EHA.
Hold family support meetings – some parents/carers don’t feel comfortable having a Family Outreach Worker so we offer family support meetings through school. Mrs Price/Mrs Jones lead the meetings, inviting the relevant agencies so that we can all work together to give you and your family the support you need.
Refer to outside agencies such as: Early Help Team, parenting courses, our School Health Advisor, Warrington Youth Club, St Joseph’s Family Centre, Play Therapist and local children’s centres.
Support to complete forms and other paperwork such as: admissions to high school and Disability Living Allowance.
You can contact the Early Help Team, in Warrington on 01925 443136. Our Early help link worker is Diane Tarnawski.
