Grateful to be able to be involved in a group of such engaged PC chairs and Clackmannanshire Council People Directorate members who are committed to #ParentalEngagement and supporting #education in Clacks #teamwork #workingtogether #PlanetYouth

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.

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.…

Our community of parent/carer volunteers wish to reassure the 2,500+ parent forums, parent councils, school community groups, and individuals across Scotland which we work with regularly: we are still here for you. Clackmannanshire Council People Directorate Diane Cherry Lorraine Sanda MBE

Scotland's education secretary has decided to scrap funding for the National Parent Forum of Scotland and instead back a rival group. A spokesperson said that the Scottish Government is "committed to strengthening parental engagement". heraldscotland.com/news/24327855.…

This morning, our Chair Cheryl Burnett was on BBC Radio Scotland discussing the lack of information around Scottish Government'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

We are grateful for the follow-up questions from Liam Kerr, Stephen Kerr MSP and Audrey Nicoll MSP. Watch: scottishparliament.tv/meeting/meetin… #ParentalEngagement #ScottishEducation
