EARLY HELP

Danielle Prowse

Early Help Officer

Hello, I'm Danielle Prowse and have been working at Bidwell Brook for nearly 5 years. Bidwell Brook has a wonderful supportive atmosphere up every corridor and I feel privileged to be a small part of it. I have been working in education all of my adult life and qualified as a teacher over 10 years ago. Since then, I have had various roles, most recently Early Help Officer at Bidwell Brook. I love working with families and students supporting them to achieve. My job is varied and can range from passing over a relevant telephone number for an organisation, to running Team Around the Family (TAF) meetings when professional support is needed, as well as everything in between. I have two young boys aged 3 and 5 so work part time; Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Please give me a call if you are feeling stuck, need signposting or want to talk something through. I won't always know the answer but I will endeavour to work with you to support you the best I can.
