Does your strategy cover the three levels of engagement with parents:
Does it outline how your authority and schools work with parents who find it difficult to support their children’s education due to family circumstances? Does it take account of the needs of 'looked after' children? How does the strategy promote equal opportunities and take account of the needs of particular minority groups in your local area? Does your strategy make links with the authority’s duties under other relevant legislation, e.g. the Additional Support for Learning Act? Does your strategy make appropriate links with other relevant policy areas, e.g. curriculum, support to pupils, pre-school, additional support needs, customer care, and other agencies and businesses? How does your strategy take account of the training and development needs of school staff and others working with children and their families? | S1 of the Act covers the duty to promote parental involvement. S2 requires strategies to include reference to equal opportunities and 'looked after' childrenl | See Section B and Section C for promoting parental involvement. |
