NEW PUBLICATION: Beyond Manifestos
I am delighted to share a publication I have recently contributed to. With a general election on the horizon, SSAT (The Schools, Students and Teachers Network) asked leaders in the education sector the question ‘What does education need next?’ You can view the pamphlet here: https://www.ssatuk.co.uk/beyondmanifestos/
Beyond Manifestos shares the views of numerous school leaders, leading academics and other highly experienced educationalists.
If you would like to join the conversation, share your thoughts on the question ‘What does education need next?’ by emailing us at hello@ssatuk.co.uk or join the conversation online – #BeyondManifestos.

Episode 21: Family Centred Practice – Talking to families. Listening to families Working with families
This podcast exalts Schools to shift the focus from partnership with parents to partnership with families; to embrace a more holistic and inclusive approach which values the contributions of all family members involved in a Childs life.
At its loftiest this is a paradigm shift to more Family centred practice; in its practical reality it is about adjusting your school newsletter to read ‘dear families’, instead of ‘dear parents’.In 21st-century Society, when so much childcare is delivered by family members other than parents, do we truly value their contribution ? Does it matter if the home – school liaison diary is completed by a grandparent ? Where is the ‘SibShop’ workshop event in the school calendar to enable siblings to come together for fun activities whilst bonding with other siblings whose life journey is also as a brother/ sister to a child with special educational needs/ disabilities ?
Such approaches will enrich the practice of our schools, and the lives of our families, as the speakers in this podcast powerfully illustrate.
