Support for Parents/Carers
Education Inclusion Family Advisor
We have excellent links with the Education Inclusion Family Advisor linked with our school, Sarah Haddrell.
Education Inclusion Family Advisors offer support in various ways:
- 1:1 sessions (currently offered virtually)
- Workshops on specific topics (currently held virtually)
- Signposting to other services such as parenting courses and support services
The Pastoral Team can make a referral to Sarah on your behalf to ask for information, advice or support or you can contact her directly by email sarah.haddrell@cambridgeshire.gov.uk

EIFA Virtual Drop-ins
The Education Inclusion Family Advisor service is now a virtual service. They will be providing regular drops in for parents to access. These are bookable times and confidential slots. Sarah Dilley, EIFA, has dates for the drop-ins every 3 weeks (except Easter).
We all need help from time to time and a parenting course can help to equip you with the skills and knowledge to understand your child’s behaviour and give you the confidence and strategies to manage common parenting challenges. You can register your interest in attending a parenting course here - Register your interest for a parenting course! (office.com)
Reducing parental conflict and building healthier relationships
Conflict between parents is a normal part of relationships and family life. Conflict can be present between parents whether they are together or separated. There are free courses for parents whether together, separated or considering separation who want to find ways to improve their relationship, get on better and find helpful ways to communicate. You can find out more information here - Reducing Parental Conflict Programme - Cambridgeshire County Council
