Parental EdTech Study Tours @ Lawford
Lawford has been building trust and understanding with their parents through transparent communication, providing clear guidance, and demonstrating the positive impact of technology for their children.
A highly effective way of doing this it to invite parents in at a set time and give them a tour of the school showing how, why and where technology is used.
By fostering a deeper understanding among parents, they have been able to start a programme where parents can fund their own device which the child can bring home from school, which is configured by the Schools with all the LGfL safeguarding tools to ensure that home use online is safe and secure as well.
