Bridging the Communication Gap for Children, Families, and Schools
Children and young people often express themselves through their behavior, struggling to regulate and articulate their feelings and needs. Families, though well-intentioned, can also face challenges in communicating effectively, sometimes in ways that may not align with societal expectations. Meanwhile, schools are under pressure to achieve high grades and maintain near-perfect attendance, which can conflict with the immediate survival needs and social norms of the families and children they serve.
Working with high-priority pupils is often time-consuming and challenging, especially when services are stretched, and thresholds for support are high. My goal is to bridge the gap between all parties involved with the child or young person, ensuring their needs are understood and met.
The Power of Informal Conversations
Often, it's the informal chats with children and young people that make the most impact—the spontaneous conversations in the office or while walking through the yard. I can build on this by meeting young people in a comfortable setting, whether it’s for a hot chocolate or a walk with Mac.
With my background in education, I understand that interventions often need to be measured. We can work together to ensure our approach is both meaningful and effective.
