Parent update writer
Warm, plain-English updates and tricky-conversation messages to parents — written in seconds.
Tell the tool what's happened and who you're writing to, and it drafts a message that's warm, clear and defensible — the tone that keeps parents on side without over-promising. Check names, dates and any safeguarding wording before you send.
Facts, dates, anything the parent needs to do next.
No card needed — keep going as long as you like.
No child data is stored. Your notes are used to generate the draft and nothing else.
Draft message to parents
Your draft will appear here. Always read it back and edit before it goes anywhere near a parent, a file or an inspector.
Members get unlimited runs, the AI Coach, the Ofsted, EYFS and SEND toolkits and the compliance map — from £5.99 a month, 7-day free trial.
Getting the most out of this
- •Never put a safeguarding referral decision in a parent message — follow your DSL and local authority route first.
- •For bumps and incidents, name the time, the action taken and who to speak to at pick-up. Vagueness is what escalates complaints.
- •For possible SEND concerns, describe what you have seen, invite the parent in, and avoid diagnostic language.
