What is a Parent Council

Parent Councils help parents and carers to become more actively and effectively involved in their children’s learning. They were established under the Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Act 2006 in recognition of the important role that parents can play, both in their own children’s learning, and in the life of a school. 

​

Parent Forum is the collective name for every parent, carer or guardian with a child at a school. The Act gives each school’s Parent Forum the right to set up a Parent Council.
