The Alternative Provision Innovation Fund (APIF) supported nine projects in testing new approaches to improving outcomes for young people in alternative provision (AP). Parent and carer engagement is an important part of AP practice. This paper provides practical insights into how parents and carers were engaged and supported. This paper will be of particular interest to those working in AP, mainstream and special schools, as well as local authorities, e.g. as a checklist for discussion when reviewing their provision/role in engaging parents/carer of young people in AP.
