schools, Trust and Educational Establishments
With seven children in the average UK classroom coming from single parent families schools play a key role in supporting single parents and addressing the stigma single parent families can face. Addressing issues of exclusion for single parent families has the potential to help address attendance issues in schools. You can download our model school single parent policy below. this can be used directly by schools, or adapted for your own school community. The single parent inclusive HR policies in the Employers section below are also useful for schools to consider how best to support their single parent staff members, and help to address the retention crisis schools are currently experience. If your school or trust wants more support with your inclusion policies you can contact us, or our partner the Global Equality Collective which can support schools with data collection to support inclusion.
