All parents/carers need to know that the needs of their children will be met. As a working party, our advice is to send a generic letter to all concerned, expressing this view and alerting them to the possibility that from time to time, in order to meet some of these needs, special activities will be arranged and parents will be contacted.(Samples 1 and 2).
This contact may be by separate letter at the beginning of a term or appear as part of a brochure. At certain stages, you may well want to accompany the letter with the parents’ questionnaire which is at the end of this pack.
When the special events occur, schools should advise parents/carers accordingly. (Sample 3)
