Welwyn Garden City & Hatfield Schools Partnership

Welcome to your local schools partnership. We are here to help improve outcomes for children and young people and to help make it easier for you to support your children with their learning.

Our School Family Workers support families in whichever way they need.  They have a wealth of knowledge regarding services available to support families and can offer one to one support on parenting issues. The School Family Workers will happily help with queries you may have.

What are School Family Workers?

The School Family Workers are employed by the Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield Schools Partnership to support families across Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield.

We can help support you with a range of concerns you may have.

No problem is too big or too small.

The help we provide is dependent on your needs and we are a completely confidential service.

Our School Family Workers have a wealth of knowledge regarding services available to support families. Some of the difficulties we can help you with are:

  •  Parenting strategies: e.g. managing challenging behaviour or sleep patterns
  •  Assisting parents of children with additional needs
  •  Changing schools (transition)
  •  Loss or bereavement
  •  Financial concerns
  •  Smoking, drugs and alcohol misuse
  •  Family breakdown
  •  Being in an abusive relationship

We have a wide range of knowledge about all issues that affect families, if you would like to discuss concerns with a School Family Worker please ask your school to make a referral to us or contact us directly on 01707 387702 / 07535 704247

Food and Hygiene Support for Families

At Knightsfield School, we understand that sometimes families may need a little extra support. During difficult times, access to essential items such as food and hygiene products can make a real difference and we want to help our families find the support they need. Please click on the link below for the Welwyn and Hatfield community food and hygiene banks.
Clothes, Hygiene and Food Banks
Many local communities offer food banks and hygiene banks that provide practical assistance to individuals and families. These services can be invaluable and are there to help when circumstances become challenging.
If you are looking for support in your area, you can search online using terms such as:
  • Food bank near me
  • Hygiene bank near me
  • Community pantry near me
  • Food support services in [your town/city]
You can also visit websites such as The Trussell Trust or The Hygiene Bank to find local support services and information about accessing assistance.
Please remember that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Support is available and no family should feel alone when facing temporary difficulties. We hope this information helps our families access any food or hygiene support they may need, when they need it most.
