Sharmans Cross Junior School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and
expects all adults to share this commitment
guide pupils in on-line activities that will support the learning outcomes planned for
the pupils’ age and maturity. Pupils will be educated in the effective use of the
Internet in research, including the skills of knowledge location, retrieval and
evaluation.
Rules for Internet access are posted in all networked rooms. Pupils are informed
that Internet use will be monitored.
Child and Family Support Worker
It is important for families and children to have access to advice and support. We
aim to achieve this by working in partnership with the family and other professionals
to meet individual needs. The level of support is dictated by the needs of the child
and family.
The Child and Family Support Worker provides a 'listening ear' to families and
carers at times of difficulty or distress, and most particularly at the time of initial
disclosure of diagnosis of disability in their child; helps to explore with families any
particular difficulties which they are encountering in the care of their child;
provides information to families about services or benefits available to their child,
and help to apply; acts as a link or key worker between the child and family, and the
many different professionals and agencies who may be involved in the care of the
child and acts as necessary as an advocate for the family .
Anyone needing support is able to contact the CFSW via school. Alternatively, the
CFSW may also contact you to offer support if the school is aware of issues that
might be affecting the child.
All of this is provided in the strictest of confidence.
