Parental complaints can be very time consuming and lead to undue stress within schools. Since the COVID19 pandemic we have seen an increase in the frequency of parental complaints, but most problems and misunderstandings in schools can usually be sorted out quickly with effective communication between the parents and/or carers and the headteacher/class teacher. It is important that complaints are responded to quickly and in a measured way to minimise disruption and reputational damage. <a href="https://www.schofieldsweeney.co.uk/team-member/tina-morris/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Tina Morris</a>, Associate in our Education team will demonstrate what makes a good complaints policy and how you can use it to respond to a complaint calmly and openly, maintaining the complainant’s confidence in your school and reducing the risk of escalation.
