National Family Learning Network - Parents as Partners in Learning Conference
The Oak Tree Conference Centre, Coventry
16 September 2009
| Research consistently demonstrates that parents’ involvement in supporting their children’s learning both at home and in partnership with the school is critical in raising children’s achievement, attainment and well-being. Their support can play a vital role at all stages of education and the benefits can be long lasting and influence future health, the quality of relationships and employment prospects. We all know this and many organisations are committed to developing work that supports this aim. It is clear that there is a need to bring all the excellent work together and provide an opportunity for everyone involved in this field to join up their thinking with a view to: • Influence policy, • Transform working approaches and ultimately • Bring about sustainable cultural change. This is particularly poignant when Government is actively reviewing approaches to involving parents as partners in learning, as highlighted in their latest White Paper Your Child, Your Schools, Our Future: Building a 21st Century School System, setting out statutory Pupil and Parent Guarantees. This conference is aimed at all those committed to taking this agenda forward and is specifically relevant to those working in Education, Children’s Services, Health and Voluntary and Community Organisations. The National Family Learning Network is a partnership between the Campaign for Learning, ContinYou and NIACE. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
