Home School Link Worker

Mrs Read joined the team as the Home-School Link Worker in September 2022. She is also one of the school’s Thrive Practitioners and is available Monday to Friday to offer support to children and their families. In addition to her core role, Mrs Read supports parents through the Positive Parenting approach.

Mrs Read provides a safe space for parents and carers to discuss any needs or worries. She offers a listening ear and practical support without judgment, understanding that asking for help can be the first step toward improving life. Her role includes one-to-one support for both parents and children, as well as assistance with personal, family, or financial difficulties. Mrs Read can also help with completing forms, making applications, creating CVs, or handling difficult phone calls; tasks that can feel overwhelming, especially when anxiety is involved.

She can make referrals or signpost families to agencies and charities that provide additional support. If you would like advice or assistance, please email Mrs Read at e.read@salfordsschool.org or call the school to arrange a time to speak with her.
