In our wellbeing survey a year ago, many of you told us that you had been affected by problems with pupils' parents.
As a result, we are now looking at this issue more closely, and we
would really like to hear more about your experiences and opinions on
relations with pupils' parents - good or bad.
This new survey comes at a crucial time. The Government
will be proposing a host of new measures next week which could strongly
impact on parent-teacher relations and your wellbeing.
We want to engage with government and others on this
issue and can do so much more effectively if we can give a strong
indication of teachers' opinions on these issues. The survey findings
will also feed into an influential report that we are preparing with
the parent support charity, Parentline Plus, so please spare five
minutes or less to take part.
