Thanks to @GlasgowPam for bringing a #TopicalQuestion on the matter of defunding #NPFS to @ScotParl today. We are grateful for the follow-up questions from @LiamKerrMSP, @RealStephenKerr and @Audrey4ASNK. Watch: scottishparliament.tv/meeting/meetin… #ParentalEngagement #ScottishEducation
Inspiring Festival for teachers. Come and be creative, learn new skills for learning and teaching using technology
This morning, our Chair Cheryl Burnett was on @BBCRadioScot discussing the lack of information around @scotgov's choice to remove funds for the NPFS and our role in #ParentalEngagement. Listen from 0712: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li… #ParentVoice #ParentVolunteers #ScottishEducation
As this is now out in the mainstream media, we would like to reiterate our statement from earlier this week: our nationwide network of #ParentVolunteers is still here for the thousands of individual parents, heraldscotland.com/news/24327855.…
On May 14, the NPFS received a notice from the Scottish Government explaining that we will no longer receive the funding which underpins our work to elevate the voices of parents and carers to national conversations. We were not consulted, and find this decision utterly shocking.
Today, with support from the Scottish Government's Parent & Learner Engagement Team, we launched a new #NPFSNutshell on #EducationReform. You can find it on our website: npfs.org.uk/blog/2024/04/1… #ParentalEngagement #NPFS #ScottishEducation #NationalParentForum #ParentVoice
Primary teachers: are you ready for #NCW2024 & #BSW24? Our prize draw gives you a simple, creative way to get your students excited about STEM careers. Use #StepsIntoSciPoster to share your class poster for a chance to win a £100 voucher. Full details: rsc.li/3SYXFHs
Something highlighted consistently in our #ParentalEngagement work is the concern parents & carers across Scotland have for the #MentalHealth of our young people. This #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek join @Place2BeScot in showing our youth their voice matters! #NPFS #ScottishEducation

Later this week we’ll launch the first podcast in a series about the #UNCRC. In episode 1 on Wednesday, our Interim Chief Executive @GGillHHam1 discusses the many benefits of a rights-based approach in Scottish Education during a chat with senior education officer Maxine Jolly.
The number of questions I've had on behaviour in our schools this year is significant, across the NPFS it's staggering. So we're asking parents about their experience with behaviour issues in their #ScottishSchools - if you haven't, fill it in today. forms.gle/mr1bUaopKPF92L…
