Parental Involvement and Engagement Census Parents – we would like to know how you feel about involvement with your child’s school. A new national survey asks about your involvement and engagement with your child’s school and their learning. The information gathered will help the school, local authority and Scottish Government fully understand the views of parents and carers and plan how school involvement and engagement with learning can be improved. Use this link to complete the survey https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/URCGWV/ If your children attend different schools you are welcome to complete the survey for each school.

What Will I Learn?
Session 1: Saturday 23rd April 10.00am-12.00pm
Theory – We will deliver an information session on the general understanding of autism, how we can look beneath what we see to realise the underlying reasons and what this may mean for our children and young people.
Session 2: Saturday 30th April 10.00am-12.00pm
Practice – Building on the theory we learned in session 1, we will now think how we can use this information to individualise this to each child/young person and to start to think about practical strategies that can be implemented to help us support our young people.
Session 3: Saturday 7th May 10.00am-12.00pm
Evaluate – In our final session we will discuss some more practical advice but also have a chance to think about the strategies we will try moving forward, any challenges we feel we might have in implementing any change and a general Q&A on autism with our trainers.

The Rights Respecting Schools Award puts children’s rights at the heart of schools in the UK.
The UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) works with schools in the UK to create safe and inspiring places to learn, where children are respected, their talents are nurtured and they are able to thrive. Our Rights Respecting Schools Award embeds these values in daily school life and gives children the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives and to be responsible, active citizens.
Using the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) as our guide, we are working with more UK schools than almost any other organisation. Over 1.6 million children in the UK go to a Rights Respecting School and nearly 5,000 schools up and down the country are working through the Award. Schools work with us on a journey to become fully Rights Respecting.
The Award recognises a school’s achievement in putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child into practice within the school and beyond.
