Family Support Worker

Mrs Lawler
Lead Family Support Worker

My name is Claire Lawler. I have lived, worked and attended school in Merton my whole life so I am very familiar with the area and the wonderful diverse culture that we have to offer.

I have fifteen years of experience working in Merton Primary School but most importantly, I am a parent myself; I understand the challenges that families face and how important it is to support the whole family, as it is to support and nurture our students.

With a real desire to help people, I aim to support you as problems arise by providing support, advice and information to families with our school community who may be experiencing short or long-term challenges. My experience as a trained Counsellor for both adults and young people means that I am able to offer a non-judgmental and compassionate ear by building trusting relationships with students and their families.

I may not have all the answers but working in partnership with you will mean that I can hopefully help you to find them.
