精品SM在线影片's position statement on complaints

Those governing听play听a crucial role in the parental complaints process. Our research has听identified听a significant rise in the volume of complaints, and therefore听an听increased burden on those governing in handling and hearing these complaints. Governing boards can approach this issue from a unique perspective, combining the benefits of both employee and parental perspectives to avoid an 鈥渦s versus them鈥 approach.听We believe a focus on collaboration between schools and parents is key, working together to resolve a conflict and best address children鈥檚 needs.听

Drawing on听the听perspectives of those governing听and our own research, 精品SM在线影片 have听made听five recommendations听to policymakers:听

  1. Substantive training on working with parents should be a core听component听of the routine professional development undertaken by school and trust employees;听
  2. The听DfE听should collate national data on complaint volumes and topics;听
  3. Duplication should be reduced听by creating a听centralised听system for formal complaints to be raised within,听and clarifying the remits of external听agencies;听
  4. The DfE should implement procedural changes to reduce workload, tackle vexatious complaints and ultimately achieve quicker resolutions. This includes alterations to the rules around complaint forms; evidence; appeals and excessive complainants;听
  5. The role of those governing in handling complaint appeals should be听maintained.听
