My Name: Faye Keating, Membership Secretary Address: faye.keating @pipstockport.org
What people appreciate about me Extremely caring and committed, a good listener, a supportive and dedicated mum, wife and friend, trustworthy and very loyal.
What is important to me Keeping parents informed about events and information to support them. Putting names to faces, parents, children and professionals. Balancing my PIPS and professional roles as well as home life, allowing time to do each one to the best of my ability. Being organised and methodical, events and appointments need to be in the calendar. Meeting new people. Helping them to feel listened to and supported. Learning how all the different organisations/services fit together, and the best way to access these to the benefits of families. Using the skills I have learnt in my work life and adapting them to the benefit of families.
How to support me in my role
Give me the information in jargon free language, written and verbal Be honest and upfront with me, good and bad! Allow me time to do tasks. Know that I am a practical learner. If someone tells me how to do something I will forget, if I do it myself I will remember. Make sure I have all the information I need to attend a meeting or course so I can be prepared.
