BEP is partnered with Birmingham Children’s Trust to support the development of Early Help work in schools.
Susan Dancer is available to support schools with their access to the Early Help system in the city. She has delivered training materials to BCT and Voluntary Sector workers about how schools work and how Early Help is delivered in-house in most schools. Susan has run the Early Help and Exclusions Project: a small scale case study project investigating the impact of Early Help interventions for children who are at risk of exclusion and their families. 9 schools are involved, 3 in each of the Erdington, Hodge Hill and Ladywood localities. Susan is working in support of the development and rollout of a shared case management system that can be used by all professionals who are leading and involved in Early Help delivery. Susan Dancer is BEP Early Help Senior Engagement Lead. Susan has 35 years’ experience in education starting her career as a teacher of English then moving on to senior leadership roles in several secondary schools in the midlands. Much of her leadership experience has been in pastoral work and safeguarding which is her main area of expertise although she has also led on staff development and teaching and learning. In addition to this she has quality assurance experience gained as a Network Coordinator for East Birmingham Schools covering a range of AP provisions. Susan has also served as an advisor for drugs and health education in Derby and was involved in the development of Citizenship in its early stages.
