“We were apprehensive about having a Case Manager assigned to us, but after choosing Linsey from her details and meeting her at her interview we wonder how we ever managed without her. Linsey is very approachable and always has our daughters’ best interest at heart. Her knowledge and assistance with regards to child education has been extremely valuable to us and we know anything that may crop up during our daughter’s school life she will have an answer or solution to. Linsey will put forward things to help and assist our daughter in everyday life, that in turn helps us as parents and a family too, this is all done supportively and there is never any pressure to commit if we do not feel it is right at that moment in time. We cannot thank her enough for the help we have received so far and we look forward in continuing to work with Linsey in the years to come.” – Parent of a client
