Hello, we are the Family Liaison Officers here at Belle Vue Primary School.  We have been employed by school to work closely with pupils, staff and parents to maintain and foster positive and effective relationships.  Working closely alongside pupils and staff allows a great insight into the educational journey of your child.  Alongside this, working closely with parents means that as a partnership, school and home can together ensure all pupils succeed and flourish.

What our role includes:

• Attendance
• Working closely with our school SENDCo (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Co-ordinator) and Inclusion Team.
• Liaising with secondary schools.
• Providing one to one support for children through difficult times.
• Supporting families through bereavement, family breakdown, mental health difficulties, money worries, drug and alcohol misuse, sexual and domestic violence (amongst others).

If we are unable to answer or help with any concerns you have, we will do our best to put you in touch with someone who can. An integral part of a Family Liaison Officer's role is to link families with outside agencies if need be, and work in a partnership with them.

Where and when to contact us:

• Through referral from your child's class Teacher.
• In person on the playground Monday to Friday, before and after school for an informal chat.
• Email: Sheila Webster: s.w@bellevue.cumbria.sch.uk (Mon-Wed).

         and Gail Adams: g.a@bellevue.cumbria.sch.uk  (Tues-Fri).

• Telephone school on (01228 593161)

We look forward to hearing from you!

Mrs. S Webster and Mrs. G Adams
