Foundation House resources
The Victorian Foundation for Survivors of Torture (Foundation House) has created a guide to help schools engage with parents from refugee backgrounds.
The guide includes practical and useful information on:
- Overcoming language and cultural barriers
- Transitions
- Parent-teacher interviews
- Supporting parents to help their children at home
- Welcoming parents into the school and their child’s classroom.
The guide was created in collaboration with a range of stakeholder groups including the Education Department.
