Family Support - PFSA Service

Current information for Parents...

Who is the PFSA and what can she do to help?

Our two PFSA are called Rachel Clements and Nici Fulton and they have been working with us since September 2024..

Please see all of the information and websites below which may be a good first ‘port of call’ for you before you may want to make a call to ask for support. Please have a look through these websites and leaflets to see if there is any information which can help you.

 

If you feel you need PFSA support regarding your child’s behaviour at home, please try to keep a STAR analysis sheet (below) for 2 weeks before contacting me for support so that we have all of the information we need to start working together.

 

If you would like support you can speak to a member of staff and ask them to make a referral to our PFSA, fill in the referral form yourself (see below), or simply call the number above. 

Forms to fill in before contacting the PFSA...
