# Parent Support Advisor

## Parent Support Advisor

Children don’t come with a handbook, and each child can present a range of challenges, which can subsequently affect their ability to learn. Parent support advisors offer practical advice and guidance on the variety of challenges parents face. These often includes issues such as:

- Challenging behaviour.
- Picky eaters.
- Poor sleepers.
- Concerns about your child’s emotional well-being.
- Money worries.
- Housing difficulties.

Our parent support advisor is Linda Mense.

> "My role is to offer advice and support to you, as parents and carers, to enable your children to benefit as much as possible from school and the opportunities it offers."
