Detoxing Childhood

how schools, parents and communities can work together to promote children’s well-being and learning

It takes a village to raise a child, and the central point in 21st century children’s ‘villages’ is their school. This course looks at how schools can best support parents, and the wider community in providing the sort of environment that promotes healthy development – physical, social, emotional and linguistic – for every child.

Sue’s working principle is that parents, not institutions, have ultimate responsibility for their children’s well-being, but that schools have a pivotal role to play in informing and empowering parents to take productive action within their homes and ‘villages’.
