Hi, Its incredibly tricky! My advice would be keep the parents on side at all costs! Hard discussions are often best had in the employment planning meetings where you get the opportunity to frame the issues really well and help manage the response from the parent directly. Always draw on the requirements of the workplace and the outcome you desire ( i.e employment) Once a parent has gone negative it is very hard to pull it back in my oppinion.
