At ECPS, we do all that we can to understand and support parents with their busy lives and the challenges they may face. All staff have an open door policy and are available to meet with parents through face to face appointments, telephone calls and our Class DoJo app.
Sometimes, parents require a little extra advice and support which is where Mrs Bird, our Parent Liaison Worker, comes in. Mrs Bird is an experienced parent, teaching assistant and foster carer who has many years of experience in working with children with a wide range of needs. Any parent can request an appointment with Mrs Bird to talk through any concerns or areas where they feel they need support.
To contact Mrs Bird, email parentliaison@easingwoldprimary.co.uk
Below, are some of the information from workshops that Mrs Bird has run for parents and a useful positive parenting leaflet from the NSPCC.
