Overview

Family members of students - such as parents, carers, and grandparents - are an important part of the school community. They play a key role in helping others in the school community to feel a sense of belonging and connectedness. The following resources provide simple, practical tools and guides to support families who want to know more about how they can play a role in making sure students with disability and their families are welcomed and fully included in their school community.
