    Mrs Cook  - Family Support Worker (Safeguarding Lead and member of the School Leadership Team) - supporting families, pupils, our school and staff

    I started my Gatehouse journey as an EYFS parent, then as a Teaching Assistant supporting a child with SEND. This role was initially on a month’s trial but 28 years later, I’m still here! Now, as a Family Support Advisor, I offer a warm welcome and listening ear to all families within our school community. I work closely with children, parents, carers, and staff to provide support, guidance, and practical help when needed.

    I’m aware that family life can sometimes bring challenges, and my role is to help build positive relationships between home and school. Drawing on my knowledge in SEND, Challenging Behaviour, the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences and Trauma helps ensures every child can thrive both emotionally and academically. Support can also be offered as part of our parenting course around anxiety, alongside Westcliff Primary. 

    Whether you need advice, someone to talk to, or support in accessing local services, I am here to help in a friendly, non-judgemental, and confidential way.

    As well as Family Support Advisor I am part of the school’s Safeguarding Team, helping ensure all children feel safe, supported, and valued. If there are any concerns about a child’s welfare, I will work sensitively with families and relevant professionals to provide the right level of support and help. The wellbeing and safety of every child is at the heart of everything I do.

    I believe strong partnerships between home and school make a real difference. My aim is to work with families to feel supported and empowered by creating a nurturing environment where every child can reach their full potential.
