Home-school liaison is a child and parent-centred partnership that builds positive relationships, enabling improved attendance and behaviour by reducing external barriers to learning. The Home School Link Worker plays a significant role within the school community, developing strong partnerships with outside agencies and positive working relationships with families to enable effective support for students and their families.
