Policy and research
We want every child to receive the support they need to thrive and achieve. Our services are a vital element of seeing our vision achieved, but we know that we aren’t going to be in every school in the country. We therefore work with politicians, policy makers and commissioners throughout the UK to share our expertise, so that any child who needs support can get it. You will be able to read our thoughts on many of the pressing policy issues throughout the year in our news section.
Fair Education Alliance (FEA)
School-Home Support is a member of the Fair Education Alliance (FEA), a coalition of the UK’s leading organisations that are committed to tackling educational equality. The goal of the FEA is to significantly narrow the achievement gap between young people from our poorest communities and their wealthier peers by 2022.
Centre for Social Justice (CSJ)
The CSJ Alliance is a network of community-based charities that the CSJ has identified as models of excellence, effectiveness and innovation in tackling the root causes of poverty in the UK. Member charities provide a voice from the grass roots, contributing evidence to all research and policy development and holding the CSJ accountable.
School-Home Support has provided evidence to the CSJ on a range of topics, including child protection and housing. You can view the latest report we have been featured in: ‘Kids can’t catch up if they don’t show up’
