Are you…Looking for information, support or advice? Needing someone to listen? Confused?

The Ponteland Partnership now has a Parent Worker. Kate Whitehead is based in Ponteland High School and can offer parents information, advice or just a ‘listening ear’.
Kate is able to meet at a place that is convenient for you - either in your home, at school, a café or a local group…

How Kate can support you
- Offering advice to help your child cope with school
- Help with children’s behaviour and attendance at school
- Help with information and support on starting school or changing schools
- Helping you to make the link with school


Common areas parents are interested in include:
Being consistent
Brother & sister relationships
Rules & Boundaries
Building relationships
Helping your child fit in at a new school
Helping your child deal with peer pressure
Confidence in being a parent
 
As a parent you are the expert on your child, but every now and then it can be useful to be able to ask someone for a bit of support

How to contact Kate
You can phone or email Kate directly or if you prefer you can ask your child’s teacher to do this on your behalf.
