Home School Link Worker
Family Partnership
Hello, my name is Stephanie Holley, I am the Home School Link Worker & Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead at Meadhurst Primary School.
During term time I work in partnership with parents/carers, schools and other agencies to support families, aiming to reduce current stressful situations and prevent future difficulties.
My aim is to ensure that all children enjoy school and are happy and secure.
Parents/carers, school and children can ask me to become involved. With your consent, we will explore the difficulties your child is experiencing and identify the best way forward.
Should a child protection issue be identified, I am legally bound to follow Government guidelines.
Should you wish to contact me in confidence, please call 01784 253311.
Best wishes, Stephanie
