Inclusion and Well-being

Family Support Worker

We are delighted to have Rebecca Brown working for us as our Family Support Worker at Shawley. She is highly experienced and is able to offer really targeted and effective support.

I have been working as the Trust Family Support Worker for LEO Academy for the past three years. I have previous experience in various Early Years settings, and as a Community Nursery Nurse for the NHS in Camden. Some of you might recognise me from when I was a nanny for a Shawley family a few years ago. I have experience in the counselling field, and have done lots of voluntary work in various settings. I am very excited about meeting you all and working at Shawley.

We have become aware that many of our young children are playing an online game called Rainbow Friends. The themes and activities in the game are around a child being kidnapped whilst on a school trip and being chased by terrifying and colourful eerie beings in strange and deserted locations.

This game can be played in Roblox, which is recommended for children of 13 years and over. If your child is using this game, then you may wish to read this review.

The Think U Know website offers advice and support about online safety for parents.
