Making your communications effective

The first step to effective communication, is to communicate in a way that the recipient can access.  Today that way for many people is using their mobile phone - a device that 98% of people aged 20-40 own at least one of.

 

Texts work because parents can access them anywhere, at any time.  They are brilliant at communicating simple messages incredibly effectively.

 

Email is catching up

There is no doubt that email is catching up as a communication method but it isn't there just yet.  Many families on lower incomes have no access to the internet at home, and if you rely purely on an internet system you will miss many families.

This afternoon, I have texted a selection of parents who have not returned forms to us and we need them by tomorrow.  I know the parents are more likely to read a text than check inside their children's book bags.
