Listed below are some of the services the school can offer you:- - Mrs Wilkinson, our Early Help Practitioner, Mrs Quigley, our Headteacher and our SENDco, are available to talk to parents/carers to discuss any concerns you may have regarding behaviour, learning or any other support you require. You can get in touch with them by emailing sendco@parkroad.warrington.sch.uk - Support to complete forms and other paperwork such as high school admissions. - Meetings with class teachers are available to meet with parents/carers to discuss any concerns you may have regarding your child’s behaviour or learning. - Referrals to outside agencies such as: the Family Outreach Team, parenting courses, our School Health Advisor, St Joseph’s Family Centre, Play/Art Therapy and local children’s centres. - Common Assessment Framework (CAF) which involves listening to you to find out what help you need and talking about what is working well in your life. Based on what you say and what help you would like, a plan is put together so that professionals can work together to make sure you get the right sort of help. - At Park Road CP School, our Safeguarding Team meet each half term to identify any children and families who would benefit from early help. It allows them to access services in the school and beyond to support identified vulnerable pupils. In Warrington, we know that children, young people and their families have different types of needs and sometimes they may require extra support. One way this extra support can be provided is through an Early Help Assessment. An Early Help Assessment can be completed by any professional, from any service, who is working with a child, young person or family. The Early Help Support Team's role is to provide information, guidance and support to professionals who are working with children, young people and their families. An Early Help Assessment benefits a child, young person or family because it: - helps to identify needs at an early stage; - is strengths- and evidence-based; - is personalised and; - is multi-agency in its approach. An Early Help Review/Closure Plan complements the assessment by ensuring the correct level of support is provided for an individual/family at the right time. This allows for service provision to be regularly reviewed to ensure it continues to meet need and prevents needs escalating. ### Early Help - Warrington Borough Council's ‘**My Life Warrington’ directory is full of help, advice and events in Warrington from early years to activities and support for adults and their Local Offer** **Domestic Violence Support** Domestic abuse affects the whole family.

The children benefit from a wide range of technical resources, with online capabilities at the centre of their learning. However, access to the internet and other e-learning resources requires training, guidance and advice to ensure that everyone learns in a safe environment. Along with the training the children receive within school, we have compiled a list of sites which offer guidance to children and parents on the safe use of e-learning tools. Check them out for lots of great safety tips. - [**www.parentsprotect.co.uk**](http://www.parentsprotect.co.uk/) - This site holds lots of good information for parents. - **[www.thinkuknow.co.uk](http://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/)** - If you are a clued up kid or a puzzled pensioner, there is something here to help you get the most from the internet. - **[www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/topics/stay-safe](http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/topics/stay-safe)** - Learn to stay safe whilst you use the internet with Hacker and the Horrible Histories team. - **[www.getsafeonline.org](https://www.getsafeonline.org/)** - Most government websites are boring, but this one is great for your parents to learn how to keep you safe online. - **[www.kidsmart.org.uk](http://www.kidsmart.org.uk/)** - Top tips, from downloading software to social networking, it's all here. - **[www.childnet-int.org/kia/primary/](http://www.childnet-int.org/kia/primary/)** - Do you think that you 'know it all'?
