Empowerment: Parents

Parental involvement in school decision making means education staff collaborating with parents and carers from the beginning to the end of key decision making and other processes. Parents and carers are also involved in matters such as school improvement planning as well as ongoing and effective two-way communication between home and school. This podcast allows parents and carers to discuss and share their understanding of empowerment and how it support educators to improve school effectiveness.

Education Scotland believes an empowered, connected, self-improving education system is vital to achieve excellence and equity for all children and young people in Scotland. In this latest podcast series, the School Empowerment Steering Group has launched a number of episodes focusing on what empowerment looks like for those working across the education system, including insight from school leaders, teachers and local authority leads.
