What the forum does

The Forum works in partnership with national and local government and other organisations involved in education and child wellbeing issues to ensure that parents play a full and equal role in education. The overall aim is to help every child to maximise their potential through their school life.

Specifically, the Forum:

• provides a parental perspective at both a local and national level with a view to ensuring that all children achieve the best educational outcomes
• works in partnership with all education authorities across Scotland
• works in partnership with national government
• identifies common educational issues of concern across Scotland and raises these issues with the appropriate bodies
• provides parental representation to any appropriate organisation within the educational sector across Scotland where Scottish educational policy is being designed or discussed
• communicates with NPFS representatives, the educational community and the wider community on educational related issues
