Home School Link Worker (HSLW)

Hello, my name is Julie Parker and I am the Home School Link Worker for 
Danetree Primary School.

My aims are to ensure every child enjoys 
school and feels happy and secure. I work 

in partnership with parents and carers, 
schools, and other agencies to support 
Danetree famlies.                                                                             

My role is to:
• Support parents, families, and pupils 
with a wide range of concerns
• Help improve school attendance and 
punctuality
• Encourage positive behaviour
• Build and sustain strong, positive 
relationships between home and school

What is a Home School Link Worker?
A Home School Link Worker helps parents and carers take part in their 
child’s school life, which is key to the child’s success. We support 
families who may find it hard to be involved by building strong, trusting 
links between home and school. We work with parents, children, and 
staff to solve problems early, improve attendance and behaviour, and 
make school a safe and friendly place for all.

How do Home School Link Workers support children and families?
Engaging parents and carers in a child’s education plays a vital role in 
their success. However, we understand that some families face 
challenges that make it harder to be involved in school life. No matter 
what these barriers are, we aim to support you by building strong, trusting 
relationships and helping you address concerns early, which prevents 
them from developing into larger issues. This support helps families view 
the school as a welcoming and approachable environment—one where 
they can connect with other parents, take part in parenting or family 
learning opportunities, or even volunteer
