This consultation
We want to have in place a system for hearing appeals against placing request and exclusion decisions that is fair, impartial, and transparent, and seen to be so by all those who use it. We are still in the process of deciding what will be the best way of achieving this aim, and the purpose of this consultation is to give you the opportunity to contribute your views and suggestions. We are interested in all comments and ideas relating to the current appeal system.
This is the summary version of the full consultation paper on Education Appeal Committees, which is available on line at www.scotland.gov.uk/consultations , or by phoning Kevin Rae on 0131 244 7048. The full consultation paper includes the report of the Executive funded research on the experience of parents who had appeals heard by EACs. All quotes in italics in this summary paper are from parents interviewed as part of the research.
The questions in this summary paper cover our main proposals to improve EACs, and the broader questions in the consultation. The complete set of consultation questions are in the full consultation paper. The question numbers in this summary paper reflect the question numbers in the full consultation, and so are not sequential.
