Family council

“Genuine pupil, parent and staff voice and participation” is a value that runs through our schools and services. We recognise that the empowerment of parents through real parental voice and engagement can be a very effective way to form a strong school community.

Parents and carers of all TCES pupils are welcome to join their school or service’s Parent Council, in which they can actively participate in all elements of their child’s school life and connect with other parents/carers of complex ASC, SEND or SEMH pupils. Many of our parents and carers have expressed how vital this support network alone is for them.

Members are encouraged to have a real say in the direction of the school; this might be to help to fundraise, assist in school events or join the interview panel for new staff.

We believe that, by giving parents and carers the opportunity to become fully embedded within our schools, we have much stronger school communities and much happier parents, carers and pupils.
