Family SEAL
This scheme is a school based parent's education programme, Family Social Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL). The programme is currently being piloted within three Nottingham City Schools - including a Pupil Referral Unit, in partnership with the School Improvement Service, Family Learning Service, and the Life Education Centre. The project is funded by the local Learning and Skills Council o raise awareness of the SEAL programme that is currently being rolled out to all City schools.
The main success criteria are;
- parents having improved confidence and knowledge of their child's social and emotional learning
- parents gaining new skills and strategies for supporting their child with SEAL
- Family Learning embedded in local schools
The scheme was selected for the project because it provides an opportunity to explore the mechanisms through which parental engagement enhances school-based support to develop children's wider social and emotional skills.
