Home School Community Liaison Scheme (HSCL)

At our school, we believe that working together makes a real difference in our children’s lives. The HSCL Scheme (Home School Community Liaison) aims to build positive relationships between home, school and the wider community, supporting parents and guardians to become actively involved in their children’s education.

What does the HSCL teacher do?
The HSCL teacher works in partnership with parents and guardians in a variety of ways, including:
Home visits: Visiting parents and guardians in their homes to offer support and build positive relationships.
Parent courses and activities: Organising courses, workshops, talks and meetings in the school and local community, including cookery, health and fitness, and other activities.
Supporting parental involvement: Encouraging and empowering parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s education.
Building home–school partnerships: Promoting positive communication and closer collaboration between parents, guardians and teachers.
Connecting families with supports: Providing information about services and supports available within the local community.
Community collaboration: Working with relevant community organisations and agencies to support children’s wellbeing, development and educational success.
