Developing a strategy for parental involvement
Section 2(1) of the Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Act 2006 requires every education authority to prepare a strategy for parental involvement.
The strategy should describe how the education authority will fulfil its duty to:
- Promote the involvement of parents in the education provided by the school to their child and to pupils generally at their child's school
- Give advice and information to parents
- Promote the establishment of Parent Councils
- Give advice and information to Parent Councils and support their operation
- Take account of the needs of looked after children
- Consider how the strategy will promote equal opportunities
- Establish a complaints procedure in respect of the authority's functions under the Act.
The complaints procedure must be included in the strategy document.
