Home School Community Liaison Scheme (HSCL)


The Home, School, Community Liaison Scheme (HSCL)


The Home, School, Community Liaison Scheme (HSCL) was established in the Autumn of 1990. 

The underlying policy of the scheme is one that seeks to promote partnership between parents and teachers. The purpose of this partnership is to enhance pupils' learning opportunities and to promote their retention in the education system. 

In addition, the HSCL scheme is the pioneer in involving the school in the life of the community and involving the community and its agencies in the life of the school. 


The five goals of the HSCL Scheme focus on:

  • supporting marginalised pupils
  • promoting co-operation between home, school and community
  • empowering parents
  • retaining young people in the education system
  • disseminating best practice
