Tweseldown Infant School

Parent Support Advisor

                                                         

My name is Sophie Benton and I am the Parent Support Advisor for the Fleet school’s cluster. I am based at Calthorpe Park school and will be working with the majority of Fleet schools (Infant, Junior and Secondary).

I can offer non-judgmental and confidential support and advice, or simply just to chat.

My background is in education and youth work and I am also a mum of two children, so I understand some of the challenges parents face.

As a P.S.A (Parent Support Advisor) my support focuses on the needs of the family. This may include:

  • Parental/family concerns
  • School avoidance/attendance
  • Behaviour Management
  • Understanding and supporting emotional concerns.
  • Supporting education
  • Transition (moving) through schools
  • Emotional well-being
  • Parent confidence building
  • Healthy Routines
  • Separated parenting
  • Child/Parent relationship Breakdown

Parent Support Advisors give support to families in many different ways including:

  • One-to-one family support
  • Sign-posting to local services
  • Speaking on your behalf
  • Referring to parenting courses
  • Referring to Family and Adult Learning courses
  • Opportunities to meet with other parents

Parents can be referred by their school or can self-refer to me directly.
