Dear parent carer volunteer
Thank you very much to everyone who responded to this call. It was great that 10 parents offered to attend the meeting with the DfE and the Council. Unfortunately, it has been confirmed that only two parents can join me at the meeting. I think there are two options to select the two parents: 1) first come first served or 2) allocate each parent a number and do a ‘lucky dip’ draw performed by two of our staff members.
Can I propose that we go for option 2 as the fairest way and that we do this tomorrow – unless a parent carer can think of another way? I therefore hope to notify everyone about the outcome by this Wednesday.
Finally, the Council will share the final version of the Ofsted report when they receive it before publication.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries.
Best wishes

Subject: Availability to attend a meeting with the Department for Education (DfE) and Haringey Council
Dear parent carer volunteer
I am writing to advise that there are spaces for a couple of parent carers to join a meeting with the Department for Education (DfE) on Friday 8th October 2021 at 12noon – 1pm to discuss the findings from Haringey’s SEND inspection and Haringey Council’s response. The meeting will be held remotely via MS Teams, and it would be good if we could have parent representation from the developing Parent Carer Forum (PCF) at the meeting.
Can you please let me know if you are interested and can attend the meeting? It would be good to receive your response by 12 noon on Monday, 20 September 2021 if possible.
May I also take this opportunity to update you that we have successfully completed the recruitment exercise for the Engagement Co-ordinator (24 hours/week) and Administrative & Communications Assistant (14 hours/week). Thank you very much to the parent carers who volunteered and assisted with the process. I will provide further information and suggestions for next steps for the forum next week.
Please let me know if you have any queries.
Best wishes
