Parents Action and Resource Centre (PARC) launches new education advice service to support parents tackle the attainment gap

In response to the significant and persistent gaps in the educational attainment of Ealing Black pupils, Parents Action and Resource Centre (PARC) has today launched a new education advice service. This service will provide advice and guidance for all parents of Black and Black dual heritage children on improving the educational experience and attainment for their children.

The £10,000 project, funded by the National Lottery, will provide an online drop-in clinic (via Zoom) and four workshops led by specialist education advocates. The drop-in clinic will run during term time on Wednesday evenings (6pm-7pm) and Thursday afternoons (12pm-2pm). In addition, they will provide four Connected Community Champions workshops, a free programme aimed at parents who are members of parent forums or would like support in starting a parent forum.  The workshops will start on 20th January 2024 and include a blend of two 90 minute face-to-face sessions and two 90-minute online webinars.

Angela McGowan, one of the directors of PARC, said, “We know that parents want to do all they can to support their child’s educational experience and ensure they get the best academic results they can.  The drop-in and workshops give them the support they need to do this.”
