An Introduction to our Family Champion
Welcome to the Family Champion page; my name is Carol Mallett and I have supported many families over the years.
I have built an excellent relationship with many families and I am happy to support many more families in the future. Please take a look at what my role involves.
If you would like to contact me please call the Office 01908 605027, talk to me on the playground or email directly Carol.mallett@greatlinfordprimaryschool.co.uk
What does my role involve as Family Champion?
As the school’s Family Champion I am able to provide information and support to families and children to get them the help they feel they may require.
I am able to promote and enhance the relationship between home and school, often working alongside the teachers to reach successful outcomes for the children and families.
I work in partnership with a wide range of agencies and professionals to deliver support and guidance where needed.
I can help support parents where it’s appropriate, with useful strategies and routines.
I prepare information and attend various meetings to support our families.
I represent the school in a variety of ways and I am always looking for new opportunities to promote.
I am always on hand to help our families to complete free school meal forms, nurse referral forms etc.
I work alongside our schools designated safeguarding lead to support our children and families as needed.
I induct new staff and volunteers and do the appropriate checks to keep our staff and children safe in school.
I can offer emotional and social support for children whilst they are in school and help children to understand how to follow our roots and values.
From 8:30 each morning and 3pm each afternoon, when we open our school gates, I am on the playground and available for parents/carers to talk to me about any worries or appointments regarding their children they may have. At Great Linford we like to celebrate anything that the children and their families have achieved so please share them with me!
Sometimes I am unable to help, but I would hope to be able to signpost you to outside agencies, organisations and professionals that can offer the relevant support or advice.
