Support
Pathfinders
St Laurence Church Infant School is proud to work with Pathfinders. They are a collaborative programme supporting children and families facing adversity.
Pathfinders take a relationship-first approach to support, so that it is trusted and sustained (we don’t close cases). From this position of trust they can call in an ecosystem of specialist advisors, counsellors and supporters as needed.
Their approach is trauma-informed, relational, adaptive and strengths-based.
Pathfinders work through schools to make the most of the potential for long-term relationships. They develop and support school-based staff.
Pathfinder’s keystone values are nurture, social justice and shared authority. This means they support the leadership of the families.
Our allocated Pathfinder Worker is Lynwen Jones and works across both the Junior and Infant school Thursdays.
Birmingham and Solihull Women’s Aid (BSWAID)
We are working with BSWAID to deliver the “Bright Beginnings” violence preventative education programme. This helps our children learn about self care, healthy relationships and and talking about their feelings.
Our staff have been trained by BSWAID in domestic violence and abuse awareness. If you are concerend that your relationship may be abuse, we will listen and belive you.
