Parent Support Partner for BME Families
The Parent Support Partner (PSP) Pilot Project
The DCSF has initiated a project, led by the Training and Development Agency to focus upon how the parental support element of extended services can be delivered in and around schools.
Northumberland has recruited and trained 22 PSPs to work in partnership with parents to identify appropriate support and effective interventions to help children and their families.
From September 2007, we have had a PSP with a more specific role. Noreen Naeem has been appointed to work with black and minority ethnic families. Her role has been extended to April 2009, and she is a member of the Cultural Diversity team. 
In common with other PSPs, Noreen’s role is to work with parents in a non judgemental way, empowering them and their families to get the most out of the education opportunities available in and out of school.
