Parent Carer Engagement Framework

Effective parental engagement is a crucial ingredient in both academic and social success, especially for our most vulnerable pupils. Cornwall Council’s Together for Families Directorate, supported by Parent Carer Cornwall, have developed a framework and toolkit to promote the partnership between pupils, parents, and school to help create a culture of mutual collaboration to support all learners to succeed.

The offer

Education settings can access the Framework through services for schools https://schools.cornwall.gov.uk/  for £300 and the opportunity to participate in a two-year programme.

• The first year is the foundation year where education settings can work with a member of the school effectiveness to support the action planning and delivery phase of the programme. There is also an opportunity to purchase a one-off training session for staff to support a whole school approach to parental engagement for an additional cost of £100.
• In the second year of the programme schools produce a case study that demonstrates evidence of impact of the parental engagement work. Through a quality assurance visit from school effectiveness (additional cost of £100) and ratification of the case study a Certificate of Recognition is awarded if the parental engagement principles have been met.
