Involved Parents, Inspired Children - Dundee Parent Councils

At Dundee City Council Education Department, parental involvement is welcomed and recognised as being essential in developing a strong partnership between parents and schools.

Research has shown that children do better if their parents are involved in their education.Whatever that sphere of involvement may be it is greatly appreciated and welcomed.

The links on this website will give you information to help you become more involved.

Parent Council Support Group

The Dundee Parent Councils' Forum meets regularly throughout the year.

All Parent Council members are made welcome

Parents and carers are the greatest influence on their children. They are recognised as being central to the life of their child, the work of the educational establishment and Educational Services.

This group offers all parents the opportunity to meet together to share experiences, receive information and training.

They meet once a term and provide a means of dialogue between parents, carers and the Education Department.

If you would like to hear about what you can do as parents to help our children and their schools, please come along. Tell us what is on your mind, share your thoughts, ideas and feelings with the Group.

Twice a year the Director of Education and Convenor of Education meet with all Chairpersons from Parent Councils across the city.
