Mrs Kim Piggott - Family Liaison - piggottk@leasowe.wirral.sch.uk

Hello, my name is Kim Piggott, I was appointed Family Liaison Officer (FLO) at Leasowe Primary School, in July 2022. 

My role is to provide pastoral support to our parents/carers; help with any issues that you may have in relation to supporting your children, both at home and in school. I work to encourage parental involvement within school, signpost to agencies (where appropriate) and support children in school.

Should you have a personal concern or school related issue, then I am here to offer support. I have access to a number of agencies who may be able to provide assistance to you and your family.

Any query, large or small, I am here to help and to be your first point of contact with school.

I liaise with all school staff where necessary and appropriate, always in the best interests of the children and their families. I work impartially and confidentially in a non-judgemental manner, providing an understanding ‘listening ear’ if you ever need advice or support.

I aim to be on the playground before and after school, should you need to speak to me.

Out of office hours you can leave a message on my mobile, email or contact the school office and leave a message. I will endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible.

I can be contacted on: 

School phone – 0151 638 1126 (option 2)

School mobile- 07909416308 ( Monday to Friday 9 am until 5pm )

Summary of Role and Involvement with Parents/Carers

As Family Liaison Officer (FLO) I aim to support the parents/carers of children at Leasowe Primary School. My role is varied, and I have been involved with a diverse range of interventions with families.

 My primary role is to focus on early intervention and preventative activities with the view of empowering the children so they are able to achieve to the best of their ability.

I am a contact for parents and families who have difficulties. These include issues around domestic abuse, housing, parental separation, attendance, health, social services, early years, police, counselling etc. 

I attend CIN (Child in need) and CP (Child protection) meetings to represent the school and identify actions to contribute to the CIN/CP plan. I act in the best interests of the child, but will also support the family with meeting the requirements of the plan. I also act as lead professional for many families who are in TAF (Team around the Family).

One of my intentions as FLO is to ensure we maintain the positive relationship between home and school. One way of achieving this is by hearing the voice of the Parents at the Parents’ coffee mornings which are held every  Monday @ 9:15am. Our coffee mornings are very informal. Its a time for the community to come together and make new friends. 

Need a chat?

Many Parents and Carers, regardless of background, feel that there are times in their lives when they need advice and support. Parents are best placed to make choices for their children but all parents benefit from access to high quality information and advice to help them make the best possible decisions.
I am available for informal chats in the playground, meetings in school, and if needed home visits, so please feel free to come up and say hello.

Finally, as a mum myself, I never forget how precious your children are and it is my aim to build strong relationships with you so every child is happy, thriving and fulfilling their potential.

I’m here to help!
