Why should schools seek external providers to facilitate wraparound care?

The key to success:

• Dedicated leadership structures
• Clear definition for the child of the end of school and start of after-school
• Different staff, play workers
• Relaxed atmosphere and relaxation areas
• Arts and crafts
• Free play
• Wholesome snacks
• There must be a careful and sustained process of trust building between the school and the wrap around provider
• Both parties need to understand each other's aims, priorities and working methods
• Each party will be governed by differing governmental departments Legislative requirements for running a wrap around care unit are demanding.
