Community cohesion
Description
Tips from heads, community cohesion officers, and community leaders on how to fulfill the new duty to promote community cohesion. Professor Kathryn Riley of Institute of Education visits four schools (Lister Community School, Plaistow Primary, Southern Row Primary and Rokeby Secondary) in ethnically diverse Newham in east London to see how they are handling their new duty to promote community cohesion. Simon Vincent, a learning and community manager, suggests writing regular community newsletters. Rokeby School's Community Cohesion Officer, Sarah Henderson, recommends monthly meetings with distinct ethnic and social groups such as Somali parents. We also hear from some parents who attend parent classes to learn how to support their children's learning. Valuable tips are also provided by community religious leaders and the police.
