Parental Involvement and Engagement (PIE)

The Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement Act) 2006 asks us in Education to:

• Support parents be involved and engaged in the school and the education of your children.
• Help parents to set up Parent Council  
• Give advice and information to parents to help them run their Parent Council
• Give advice and information to parents generally, and
• Establish a complaints procedure for representations under the Act.

We do this by working with:

• Schools - who communicate regularly with you so you know what your child is learning, how they are learning and how you can be included.
• Parent Councils - who are set up by parents to represent all parents in your school.  
• Other officers not in schools who listen to the views of schools, parents, Parent Councils, community partners, carers and children and young people to provide support.
