School engagement with families of pupils (FOI)

Request

Is there a policy framework in place within Education to support how schools engage with parents, and if so, is this a shared policy for both States and Private schools and does it imply a code of conduct?

Response

There is no policy framework for school engagement with parents and carers. However, the Jersey’s Children First Approach is a practice framework which schools and other services follow. This framework sets out the approach for working in partnership with families.
