PARENT/CARER PARTNERS You are fundamental to the success of this 1:1 project and we are keen to provide channels of communication to strengthen our partnership with you. Your feedback, comments, suggestions and questions on the project, and on the channels of communication, are important to us. How your child is using the iPad at home is of great interest to school and to Hull University in their research. Here are some of the ways you can keep in contact: §
