Parent Trust & Engagement Audit

PARENT TRUST & ENGAGEMENT AUDIT

How strong is parent trust in your school?

Rate eight dimensions of the parent-school relationship. The score updates instantly and can be used to identify where communication or trust needs attention.

1. Clarity of Communication

Parents receive important information in a timely, understandable and predictable way.

2. Responsiveness

Parent concerns are acknowledged promptly and directed to the appropriate person.

3. Consistency & Fairness

Policies and expectations are applied consistently rather than depending on influence or familiarity.

4. Academic Transparency

Parents understand how learning, assessment and academic progress are communicated.

5. Complaint Handling

Concerns are handled respectfully, with clear follow-up and without unnecessary escalation.

6. Boundaries & Access

Parents know whom to contact, when to contact them and what response process to expect.

7. Listening & Feedback

The school gathers parent feedback and distinguishes useful evidence from isolated pressure.

8. Partnership Around the Child

Parent-school conversations remain centred on the child’s learning, wellbeing and development.
