South Tyneside

Alice Hirst, PPP OfficerHello, I am Alice Hirst. I am pleased to introduce myself as the Parent Participation Project (PPP) Officer for your region. I came into post at the end of June 2009 and am looking forward to working in partnership with parents and the local authority to enhance parent participation locally.

PPP is keen to work with parents and carers to support the development of parent participation in South Tyneside and we really want to hear your ideas and feedback on what would make a difference locally; such as training courses, networking events, information days etc. For further information about the project and to share your views please do not hesitate to contact me on 07545 697 307 or email me on ahirst@treehouse.org.uk

I look forward to hearing your ideas!
