FLO (Family Liaison Officer)

Hi my name is Lyn Harris I am the Family Liaison Officer here at Seabrook Church of England Primary School. I have worked in Education for over 35 years, firstly as a TA then as a Family Liaison Officer (FLO) for 22 years, 15 of them at Seabrook.

Throughout my career in Education I have completed numerous amounts of training but over the last academic year I have broadened my knowledge by completing three new challenges, I have completed a course to become the Senior Mental Health Lead for the school. A Rainbows facilitator/co-ordinator (Helping children and families through bereavement and loss) and finally an Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (an ELSA).

My job at Seabrook is to work with parents/carers, children, families and the wider community.

I can be your link between home and school and can offer help, support, information and guidance about outside organisations that may be beneficial to you and your family.

 If you have any concerns at home or school with your child/children or any other matters then please don’t hesitate to contact me. We can meet for a chat over coffee and try to resolve your concerns.

I can help parents and carers by organising:

Support at meetings, Attendance advice, Counselling, Healthy Eating, Signposting to professionals, Support with Housing, Support with health problems, Adult Education, Support with Transition

I can help your child by organising:

Interventions such as Circle Time, 1:1 sessions, Attendance, Transition work, Health and Hygiene, Puberty Talks, Mediating, Friendship groups.
