The impact that parent wellbeing can have on the school community is easy to overlook. We break down parent wellbeing into 8 core pillars.
Maintaining an open channel of communication between parents and schools reduces parent stress and builds trust in management.
Parents should be encouraged to engage with teachers to find out how to best support and continue their child’s learning at home.
Parents are naturally concerned about safety. Schools should both ensure their environment is safe and communicate that safety.
Parents understand how their child is really feeling at school, making parents a valuable tool for judging the effectiveness of wellbeing initiatives.
A positive school culture ensures parent satisfaction and makes them more likely to get involved with school initiatives.
How the school appears to those not directly involved in school life will determine their overall view of the whole school experience.
Effective and transparent communication is key to ensuring parents understand the thought processes behind decisions that affect their children.
The sense of reassurance gained when the two parties work together to form positive relationships has a positive impact on parent wellbeing.
