A practical toolkit of scripts, templates, checklists and evidence-based strategies to help families advocate safely and confidently in Victorian government schools.

Plain-language scripts to help you request meetings, clarify decisions, raise concerns, and respond calmly during challenging situations.
Templates for logging communication, incidents, adjustments, triggers, and timelines. Accurate records strengthen your position and protect your child.
Downloadable letter templates for: requesting documentation, asking for adjustment reviews, seeking corrections, and escalating concerns.
A step-by-step guide to preparing for SSGs, principal meetings, and reintegration planning. Includes checklists and recommended wording.
A “one-page” reference listing every document parents can request under policy: incident reports, adjustment logs, BSPs, risk assessments, meeting minutes and more.
Safe, low-conflict wording for escalating concerns to a Principal, SEIL, Regional Office, or the Department’s Complaints team.
Tools to help families document what supports were planned, what happened on the day, and whether the school met its obligations.
Evidence-based guidance to help parents avoid common pitfalls, manage difficult conversations, and advocate safely under pressure.
