At Dudley Wood Primary School we have a fantastic Wellbeing Team in place for both parents/carers and pupils to access support, advice and guidance. Advice and support is confidential, although concerns relating to the safeguarding of children will always be dealt with in accordance to the schools Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy.

Support for families could involve the below:

• General advice and support
• Supporting with family stresses e.g. bereavement, financial hardship, housing issues, mental health well-being and more
• Support good attendance
• Promoting self-esteem and confidence
• Direct work and interventions with children, as appropriate
• Supporting positive behaviour and routines within the home
• Supporting with appointments
• Support with school uniform (School holds Nearly New and New uniform available to all families)
• Signposting for financial support, food vouchers and food bank support
• Supporting with Speech and Language, Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy referrals
• Signposting to services who can provide further support e.g. local Children’s Centres, Early Help support
• Parenting support/strategies and supporting resources

Our list is ever-growing and, if we don't know the answer, we will help you find someone that does. Plase contact us over any matter that you think we can help with.
