Guidelines

1. Parents can collect their personal experiences about students’ risk, in connection with local authorities who may help with your child’s education.
2. Families can check also the availability of specific programmes for students at risk in municipalities and schools that specifically involve parents and communities.
3. Families can check if the school attended by their sons and daughters has a home/school/community contact coordinator within the school.
4. If families experience problems, they can check if there is a cross- sector co-operation between schools, social welfare and health services.
5. They can talk to the school (class teacher or headteacher), with other services that may help them, and they can disseminate good practices among other families.

With the help of a guide (teacher, school staff) examples of good practices from school could be collected. They could be presented during the Teachers’ assemblies, meetings with parents, during the different curricular and extra-curricular school activities where representatives of the community would be invited. The collection of good practices could be printed as a booklet, with the students' and the families' co-operation, and handed out in schools, as well as to students and their parents and to the community representatives. In addition, the good practices examples/ booklet could be posted on the school website.
