Book us in to attend a meeting with parent and school to help make a positive change.
We completely understand that this whole process can be exhausting, frustrating, and completely draining for parents and for schools.
We also understand that it sometimes appears to be a lot of work for not much impact.
Having a third party present at a meeting can be really helpful for schools and for parents in finding a positive solution to making change.
We also know that it can be really overwhelming to navigate “the system” and bring together a lot of different professional advice. This is where our support can help simplify the process and bring ease to the whole experience.
The main thing we understand is that often parents will feel like they are simply not listened to and what they say just doesn’t have any traction at all. Their child, and themselves, feel like they have been put in the “too hard basket”. This line of thinking can be changed with an advocate.
Can’t Face School staff know how schools work and are well placed to help reset a plan to assist moving forward.
People who work in schools do so for a reason, and commonly want the absolute best for each student. Sometimes, it just takes a third party to help get things moving and schools usually welcome this support.
This is why we offer support to attend school meetings with parents or on their behalf to help rebuild the connection.
