  1. COMPLAINTS MANAGEMENT
  2. Summary At a time when parents are more willing and equipped to challenge schools (sometimes usefully and sometimes less so), the sharp increase in complaints continues to impact governing boards and those supporting them. We continue to call for Governors who are willing to sit on external Complaint Appeals Panels (CAPs) to help schools in need of external independent governors to complete a complaint appeal process. Please contact George.Peradigou@barnet.gov.uk if interested. We’d like to thank those who’ve already volunteered for this. We recommend all governors undertake our Complaints Management Training, which now runs termly. This term the Complaints Management for Governors session takes place on Wednesday 4 November 2026 at 18:00 - 19:00. The session will inform governors about best practice in managing correspondence and evidence volumes during the complaint management process.
