My Job
I work with young people and children like you to make sure that you feel happy, loved and are safe. I do this by talking to you and your family as well as lots of different people who help you, like school or doctors.
I like doing fun activities with you to hear how you feel and what you think about things so I am able to talk to others about this. I use this information to see if I can help to make you feel more happy, more loved and more safe.
I try to do this in many different ways which work best for you and your family and we can ask for help from people inside and outside of your home.

Questions
If you have any questions, ask me or another adult.
They can contact me on my email address s.mccarthy@bury.gov.uk

What might we do ?
I will come and meet with you at school and home. I will introduce myself and we can talk about what we will do.
We will chat about what is important to you and we may play some games or do some fun activities that you might like, like colouring or drawing. I will try and make it as fun as possible so I get to know you and you get to know me.
If I come to see you in school, we can do these activities in school as well.

What happens if you don’t want to talk to me?
It is really important that I get to see you and speak with you so you can tell me is there is anything I can help you with.
But if you don’t want to talk to me today, I can see you another at, at another place or time if this will make you feel better.
We could try different ways to make you feel comfortable.
