Strategy for parental involvement

Strategy for parental involvement

The Act requires each education authority to prepare a strategy document setting out their policies for parental involvement. The strategy must cover the authority’s duties to:

• involve parents in their own child’s education, and that provided by a school to its pupils generally
• give advice and information to parents in respect of their own child
• promote the establishment of Parent Councils in schools and support their operation 
• establish a complaints procedure for their duties under the Act.
