However, often the literature does not tackle the challenges in achieving strong links or suggest evidence based strategies for overcoming these barriers (OECD, 2008).]]> 2021-10-28 13:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/MEdLeadershipandLearning/545doxjyxsb2zcbq/wish/1851324762 MEdLeadershipandLearning https://padlet.com/MEdLeadershipandLearning/545doxjyxsb2zcbq/wish/1851324763 A focus on parental engagement has implications. It could be argued that this devolves responsibility and places blame on parents.
