Synopsis
This course will be interactive and be an opportunity to explore and expand our knowledge of how relationships with the parents*, carers and guardians of students are changing and the impact of those relationships on the accommodation operations and sector norms and practices.
After goal-setting for the day, we’ll examine the before, during and after of relationships with parents as well as review the legal, moral and ethical implications of our work. This will include understanding what our duty of care is and how relationships with parents challenge that duty of care.
*For parents, read parents, guardians and carers. Not scholarship or other interested parties, e.g., agents, or spouses/partners.
