Children's Assignment Letter (Template)

Created by our friends at Expat Valley (the Ombudsperson for International Children) this Children’s Assignment Letter is a personal message from your organisation to the children of your relocating employees that aims to set the assignment up for success and start the conversations that help international children to thrive.

The Children's assignment letter aims to:

• Support parents in explaining why the family is relocating, the importance of the assignment and the positive benefits for everyone.
• Help the child understand the plan, how they will be supported and what to expect.
• Encourage them to explore their feelings and ask questions that are important to reassure them about their upcoming adventure.
• Help the child feel less alone in the experience.

The letter helps to start a conversation with the whole family to make sure they are comfortable discussing any concerns or potential issues so that these can be pro-actively addressed.
