Parent Councils – General Information
The Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Act 2006 was passed to encourage and support more parents to become involved in their child’s education. The Act came into effect in August 2007.
The main aims of the Parental Involvement Act are to:
- help parents become more involved with their child’s education and learning;
- welcome parents as active participants in the life of the school;
- provide easier ways for parents to express their views and wishes.
To help achieve these aims, all parents are automatically members of the Parent Forum at their child’s school and entitled to have a say in what happens at the school.
