Parent Engagement Partnership
The PEP is a group made up of parents that aims to enable the views of all parents/carers to be heard. It enables the Local Authority and other agencies to consult with all parents/carers on proposed strategies and developments across the City.
It provides a point of contact with parents/carers for services and organisations, parent representatives to sit on meetings / groups as appropriate, a support network for all parents in Stoke on Trent, a well constructed, effective way of sharing views and having an input, a welcoming, safe and supportive environment to share, support and respect for all group members and an excellent structure for disseminating information and views of parents across the city
All parents receive a skills analysis and an individual learning plan once the new worker is in post.
