At Holy Cross, we take the care of our children very seriously. In order to care for them we also try to support family members. We have a designated Family Liaison Officer, Ms M Brunt.
She is available to talk over the phone or meet face to face during school hours and can be contacted through the school office (0151 652 8454).
She has a wide ranging role in school and can offer support to pupils and parents/carers creating a positive link between home and school. If Marie cannot help with an issue, she is able to re direct parents/carers to someone who can.

Family Toolbox
Family Toolbox is available to all Wirral’s parents and carers. It aims to make resources and support more readily available, putting the power right in the hands of families to work out what you want to change, and what steps you want to take to do that. You and your family can access support as and when you feel you need it. This is what you can expect from them:
- We give tools, not answers. We believe that everyone has skills and strengths, so when people need a helping hand, we see what’s already strong and coach to build up knowledge, skills and confidence. In all our relationships – whether families, communities or colleagues – we always do with, not to.
- We work together. We don’t just work together to get a great result: working together is, in and of itself, a great result. Everything we do is about building positive relationships (professionally and personally), so we put time, effort and commitment into building relationships with one another, being shaped by the perspectives and experiences of those around us.
- We make sure families stay in control. We are removing the language and behaviours of referrals, professional assessments, levels and thresholds so that we can really get to the heart of what’s going on for families, as and when they choose.
- We keep things simple for families. We prioritise people, over systems, processes and procedures. It’s simple to get involved with – we’re joined-up and accessible and we make sure that families can access something that can help them straight away. We speak in simple terms, and talk about asking for help as the way you show you’re a great parent – not a failing one.
