1. Managing People
People are an organisation's most valuable resource. In the case of schools that work with families and communities, the human dimension is crucial. Effective work with the community relies heavily on a positive commitment from everyone in the school and the local CoOP. The organisation and management of all the people involved - staff, volunteers, governors and possibly partners - need to be considered within the agreed management and governance arrangements for the school. Extended services should not be a separate service which is 'bolted on' but should be included as an important feature of the whole school and managed in that way.
