Mandatory family support worker in schools with 25%+ pupils on free school meals

Petition Details

Schools assist families with intensive support/advice on: housing: overcrowding/temporary/poor conditions, benefits, immigration, mental health, domestic violence, training, employment & parenting. Make dedicated family support workers mandatory for schools with high free school meal eligibility.

Additional Information

I urge the Secretary of State for Education to recognise in addition to providing education, schools are increasingly confronted with a need to support parents with a multiplicity of issues raised that require support.

I urge the government to make it mandatory for schools with over 25% of their pupils eligible for free school meals to have a dedicated family support worker within the school to assist parents in supporting their wellbeing & in turn the education of their children.
