Family Liaison

Northwood Parks Family Liaison Team plays a vital role in helping children and families overcome barriers that may affect wellbeing, attendance, behaviour, and learning. The team works closely with parents, carers, teachers, and external agencies to provide emotional support, guidance, and early intervention for issues such as mental health, financial difficulties, parenting challenges, and safeguarding concerns. By building positive relationships with families and offering practical support, the Family Liaison Team helps create a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive both academically and personally.

All have the training to lead on Family Support Plans. Being on a Family Support Plan led by school can have many positive outcomes for both children and parents. It provides families with tailored support to help overcome challenges that may be affecting a child’s wellbeing, attendance, behaviour, or learning. The plan encourages strong communication between home and school, helping everyone work together towards shared goals. Families can access practical advice, emotional support, and links to outside services when needed. It also helps identify concerns early, preventing problems from becoming more serious, while ensuring the child feels safe, supported, and able to achieve their full potential in school and at home.

EBSNA - Emotional Based School Nonattendance

ELSA- Emotional Literacy Support Assistant
