Learning Mentor
Sometimes children experience difficulties in their lives or ‘barriers to learning’ which can create problems in school or at home. These difficulties may make it hard for those children to concentrate on classroom work, friendships or even hobbies and normal play.
The Learning Mentor can also help to support parents and carers by referring to outside agencies. This can be for whole family or child needs such as:
- Bereavement
- Behaviour
- Parenting support
- Attendance
- Self esteem
- Counselling
