Our Advocating for Parents and Carers in the Workplace Training

Our Training Offer

We support all stakeholders in schools and trusts, in developing their consciousness, confidence and competence in considering the experiences of staff who are parents and carers.

We can deliver face to face and virtually, for twilights, INSETs and conferences.

We will explore your workplace culture and invite you to consider the experiences of your parents and careers, alongside reviewing your policies and processes.

Our Training Session Includes

  • Reviewing the research into women leaving the profession
  • Considering why women aged 30-39 blame school culture for their decision to quit
  • Discussing what needs to be done to improve communication between schools and teachers to address the retention crisis
  • Reflecting on how a positive school culture that supports teachers as they become parents does not just benefit mothers and fathers
  • Engaging with the practical strategies to improve balance for all staff, that will help colleagues, whatever their role or level of responsibility, to create “life friendly” schools

Informative, interesting and in the context of real life situations which made the messages more relatable.

An excellent introduction to a theme that we know is a focus to improve our trust.
