Working groups

Engaging Parents & Carers

About

The working group was set up in autumn 2020. It is interested in parents and carers as key influencers of young people:

  • Why we should and how, when and where we can engage them in outreach and student success inititatives
  • Evaluating the impact of this engagement

Projects

The group is currently:

  • Mapping parent/carer engagement activity against the NERUPI Framework, whether this has been delivered or is planned with the aim of conceptualising what a long-term programme of engagement with parents could look like
  • Sharing practice and ideas for evaluating parent/carer engagement activity
