# Whole School Planning
Creating meetings which consider the wellbeing needs of all those attending should be a process which is considered alongside other policies and procedures, including diversity and inclusion or working in partnership with parents.
Creating a student/parent meeting procedure or guide might be a helpful place to start.
## Key questions to consider:
**Who can call a meeting?**
**What spaces are available for the meeting?**
**How is this space useful to the purpose of the meeting?**
**What are the goals? Individual? Shared?**
**Who is invited? What expertise will they bring?**
**Who will take notes?**
**How are boundaries held?**
**How are issues of equality/diversity considered and planned for beforehand?**
\
The guide should tell staff:
----------------------------
> **How to organise meetings.**
>
> **Spaces the meetings can be held in and why this is important to consider.**
>
> **Ways to gather different views before the meeting.**
>
> **Important issues to consider.**
>
> **Strategies for problem-solving in the meeting.**
>
> **Thinking of the Next Steps for the benefit of all.**
An example of a pre-meeting questionnaire to gather views can be found here:
