*Changes at home such as bereavement, ill health or family break up.
*Difficulties with friendships or other issues within the school/early years setting.
*Transition from early years to primary school, primary to secondary school and when leaving school.

How can Home Link staff help parents?
Parents are the most important people in a child’s life and Home Link staff are committed to working in partnership with parents to make sure that children achieve as much as they can at school and beyond.
Sometimes parents or children feel more comfortable meeting in their own home. Home Link staff are happy to visit parents at home.
Being a parent is very rewarding but it can be challenging. Parents might welcome some tips on how to manage children’s emotions or behaviour. Home Link staff can offer support on a one to one basis or in a parents’ group. There are a variety of parenting programmes on offer and Home Link staff can also put parents and young people in touch with other services such as counselling , benefits advice and local activity groups.
