Speak to the National governance association. They have a consultancy division which used to be headed up by a lady called Claire Collins MBE. She is excellent and has a lot of skills and experience in this area.

Hi Anne. Apologies for this late reply and you may have sorted this already. If not, one option for you would be to see if you have a local mediation charity. I don't know where you are based but in my area (Berkshire / Oxfordshire) alongside my workplace mediation work, I work with the local community mediation charity and they do this kind of work. I've been involved myself and can be a far more productive way of approaching issues between staff and parents. I would suggest googling 'mediation charity in [local area]' and see what comes up. Hope this helps, happy to discuss further if you wish. Best regards, Marc.

In reply to Marc Reid:

Dear Marc
The school in question is in High Wycombe so in your area. I am supporting them as a National Leader of Governance. I would be very interested in making direct contact with you please to see what service you may be able to offer. Local googling comes up mainly with mediation for housing or divorce situations which is not what I am looking at. Please can you get in touch directly at anne.sheddick@gmail.com
Best regards
Anne
