Review of NLC Scheme of Devolved School Management (DSM) September 2022

 

Within the Scottish Government’s Devolved School Management Guidelines document section 2.2 advises:

 

Local Authorities are expected to publish their DSM scheme on an external facing authority website, providing access to public stakeholders. Where a school has a website, it is recommended that it includes a link to the Local Authority website directing parents and wider stakeholders to the scheme. 

Work is due to commence to design and develop a presentation/booklet style summary for use on establishment websites and newsletters, however, in the interim I would request the above link is included on your establishment’s website and newsletters to ensure we are providing stakeholders with access to the public document.
