A5 - if a decision is made despite the SLT not being unified, chanpioning that decision when presented to the staff #SLTchat #UKEdChat

Most parents are really supportive but one or two can be challenging. You have to empathise with their situation #ukedchat

#ukedchat a4 sounds obvious but you need to be in a school where the gap in SLT is likely to emerge if not changing jobs.

If parents are really challenging, make sure you have back up from another senior member of staff. It helps #ukedchat
