A Parent Carer Engagement Toolkit- What do you think?

Hello everyone - my name is Ailsa and I am the Parent Participation Project Worker for Brighton and Hove. I've been working at TreeHouse since February and this is the first time I will have posted. I will ensure I do better from now on in!

A parent, Machita from Stafford has been involved with Staffordshire Children’s Trust and the Children’s Workforce Development Council to help develop a Parent and Carer Engagement Toolkit.  I think the website is excellent. It offers some excellent practical tools and assessment programmes interspersed with insightful video clips.  We would like to know what you think of the website, so have a look on  http://www.parentandcarerengagement.org.uk/   and share your feedback please.  

Can you recommend any other resources you have found especially useful around participation?

Hi Ailsa, welcome to the community! We're always happy to see more TreeHouse people around here. Hope you will get some good feedback on this website, I agree - it looks fantastic. I'll be sure to share it with our Facebook and Twitter contacts too.

I hope you don't mind that I've moved your post into a different area - into the Local and National Campaigns section. I wasn't honestly sure where to put it but as it's a more broad topic than an introduction, thought I'd place it elsewhere. Do let me know if you think I've chosen an inappropriate section and I will move it to a better spot.  : )  Likewise if anyone else reading this thinks of a beter spot please do say so.

Oh, and here's some of my own feedback about the site. (It's a big geeky I admit) I've noticed that all the links are PDF's, not pages. Lots of people can view pages easier than PDF's (I'm sure some of you may have experienced this - you go to open a PDF and your browser gets stuck for ages). I would love to be able to suggest to the creators of this website that they turn some of these PDF's into pages.... But still, it's a fantastic website and resource!
