ASL Review Statement - Recognising Parent and Carer Voice
We were delighted to hear that the Scottish Assembly of Parents and Carers is to play a key role in the making the voices of parents and carers heard in the delivery of the Additional Support for Learning Review.
Speaking in Parliament on, Jenny Gilruth, Cabinet Secretary for Education & Skills said:
"My expectation is that engagement will be led, for example, through the Scottish Assembly of Parents and Carers, which the Government funds, and, of course, through engagement with children and young people, which was a key part of the Morgan review." The Minister also said parents and carers must “play a critical role in helping to inform policy and in providing advice and challenge to the Government as we drive forward our reform of Scotland’s education system.”
We will continue to support our parents and carers to be in these spaces, to have their lived experience recognised as evidence, and to be valued within government decision-making. Not just consulted, but listened to.
