'Parents, carers and schools' *New September 07
A survey was conducted between September 2006 and February 2007 to evaluate how schools involved parents and carers in the education of children and young people and how effective this involvement was. All the schools in the survey valued parents' and carers' involvement, but the best schools made them active partners. The best schools demonstrated versatility, flexibility and determination in their efforts to engage with parents and carers.You can download a copy of the report from

Parental Involvement *New 02-07-07
The Parents team as part of the overview of the Parents as Partners in Early Learning (PPEL) begun in October 2006 undertook a review of provision with an initial baseline audit of policy and practice across 150 local authorities (LAs) in England. They also undertook desktop research sampling publicly available LA materials. In a small number of priority authorities more detailed discussions took place with parents, officers and practitioners. The final audit report "Parental Involvement – a snapshot of policy and practice" is now available on the PNS standards site. As its title suggests the report represents a ‘snapshot’ of policy, strategy and practice in English LAs summarising key aspects of the information that emerged from the baseline audit.
The report is organised into three main summary sections with three appendices:
1. Barriers to parental involvement
2. Policy
3. Practice
Appendix 1 –Report on an audit of existing materials, projects, programmes and research relating to parental involvement in early years settings.
Appendix 2 –Report on an audit of programmes focused on parental involvement in the development of their children's Personal, Social and Emotional Development and literacy skills.
Appendix 3 –Examples of LA programmes.
Some of the key messages contained in the report include:
"Most LA Children and Young People Plans (CYPPs) stress the importance of establishing effective partnerships with parents and exemplify ways in which the views of parents had been sought and built into the planning process. Most plans articulate broad intentions but are less clear about what this means in practice".
