Local government heroes: Lois Calvert & Helen Halliday

As family learning intensive support tutors working in Darlington borough council , both Lois Calvert & Helen Halliday provide support for families at home. Family learning intensive support works one to one with learners who are isolated, do not engage or have needs that cannot be met through mainstream learning. The list of the families whose lives they have touched and changed is exhaustive and this is also reflected in the referrals from a diverse range of agencies, especially for parenting skills in order to safeguard children. They both go beyond the call of duty, inspire others to succeed and are always smiling - true local government heroes. This content is brought to you by Guardian Professional.
