Hi, my name is Debbie Purcell.   I am one of the Family & Children's Support Services Leads at Ellen Tinkham and work opposite my colleague, Hanna Cumes.  My working days are Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesday afternoons.  The main part of my role is managing and facilitating the annual reviews (PCR’s) and making sure everything is recorded and documented.  I look forward to being of help in any way I can.

Hello, my name is Hanna Cumes.  I am also one of the Family & Children's Support Services Leads at Ellen Tinkham and work Wednesday mornings, Thursdays and Fridays.  If I haven't already met you at one of your EHCP reviews, I look forward to doing so soon.

I’m originally from South Africa, but have lived in Devon for over 20 years with my husband and three daughters. I had the pleasure of working at The Hex and Bidwell Brook before taking up my current role at Ellen Tinkham. My role covers both the School and the College to build supportive relationships with pupils and families by managing and arranging Early Help meetings with relevant professionals. I am passionate about my role and aim to deliver positive change to students and their families by identifying individual needs and securing the support available. Please call 01392 467168 if you need to reach me.
