The MissingSchool Chair, Megan Gilmour, represented MissingSchool at the H.E.L.P. Alliance Conference at the Gold Coast in September 2013. The Conference coincided with the Alliance’s Annual General Meeting, at which MissingSchool’s objectives and the parent perspective were presented.An outcome of this representation was that the H.E.L.P Alliance adopted the “Parent” role into the Alliance acronym. It is now Health (H), Educators (E), Learners (L) and Parents (P), where “P” had previously stood for Practitioners.MissingSchool also become a member of the Alliance.
