Welcome to the Relocate community
We appreciate that moving is a stressful business even if you have done it many times before. For employees, there is the challenge of getting to grips with their new role and work commitments and understanding the nuances of the business culture in their new location. For partners, there can be concerns around finding employment and settling the family. For parents with accompanying children, sourcing appropriate school places is paramount. We recognise that moving with children isn’t
T easy,
but with the right information and support, you can make informed choices and give your child opportunities that will widen their horizons and help them to become a global citizen. We don’t claim to have all the answers, but we can reassure parents that there are education options to meet their needs, and experienced professionals within schools and experts across the globe who can help them make the right choices for their individual circumstances.
For HR, global managers and employers, understanding changes in education systems and the complexities of curricula, domestically or in regions around the world, can be bemusing. This guide will help you deal confidently with parents who need school places in their new location and who require your support to enable them to take up an international assignment or a domestic relocation move.
The guide will help you to understand the education and family issues involved and to make fair and informed decisions that support your organisation’s talent, allowing them to function as effectively as possible in the new location, knowing that their family is given the best possible start and will settle successfully. And when it is time to move on, they will have been enriched by the experience.
his second edition brings relocation issues right up to date for relocating families and the employers and relocation professionals supporting their moves.
For relocation professionals, this guide will be an invaluable aid in supporting the work you do in sourcing schools and accommodation for families relocating to a new area. This is another tool to help you guide them through the transition and change that are inevitable in moving and establishing a new network and sense of home. For parents and children, a new school is potentially the gateway to a new cultural experience and an exciting journey that will shape their future. The world is changing fast, and young people being educated now have huge opportunities to soak up a rich mix of experiences, technologies and influences that will set them on a trajectory that could be life changing.
Never forget that children are resilient. Given the right encouragement and support, they will quickly adapt to their new location. They can be their parents’ passport to a successful relocation, offering an easier way in to a network of new friends and social contacts. We have included in this guide the experiences of education specialists, cultural experts and parents, to reassure you about the mobility of children. We thank all the schools, education experts and relocation specialists who have contributed.
