Family Engagement

Parent & Caregiver Partnership

Bringing families into the SIAS support cycle.

All programmes
About the programme

A series of dialogues, home-learning packs and SGB briefings that help families understand the SIAS process, advocate for their child, and reinforce learning at home — closing the loop between school and household.

We design every touchpoint to be accessible: dialogues are bilingual, materials are visual-first, and the caregiver helpline is staffed during after-work hours.

Parents who complete the orientation become eligible to join the SGB inclusive-education sub-committee — embedding family voice in school governance.
