Early Help
Family Support Worker
I’m Anna Carey and I’m the Family Support Worker for Carrant Brook Junior School.
My role in school is to provide support, advice, information to the families within our school community and to co-ordinate Early Help . I can help you with any worries that you may have in relation to your child's education, behaviour and wellbeing. I am also here as someone to talk to if you need it!
I can meet with you at home or in school at a time to suit yourself. Advice and support is confidential although concerns relating to the safeguarding of children will always be dealt with in accordance with the school's Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy. I may not have all the answers, but hopefully I can help you to work out how to find them!
Please see the following link for our Offer of Early Help.
For further information, please contact familyinfo@gloucestershire.gov.uk.
