What can your Family School Liaison Worker do?
Family School Liaison Workers (FSLW) facilitate the relationship between the home, school environment and community organizations supporting student achievement by acting as a communication liaison and helping all students feel welcome in the school. FSLW’s assess the needs of the child and family and offer support including home visits, referral to community organizations, and counselling to positively manage challenging issues and events. Family School Liaison Workers play an important role in the school and provide support to other staff members to understand a variety of topics including trauma, equity, grief and loss and anti-racism through consultation and presentations.
