National Parent Forum of Scotland

The National Parent Forum Scotland represents Parent Councils across Scotland. The aim of NPFS is to 'represent parents in pursuit of maximising every pupil's potential'.

The Forum works in partnership with national and local government and other organisations involved in education and child wellbeing issues to ensure that parents play a full and equal role in education. The overall aim is to help every child to maximise their potential through their school life.

NPFS supports parents to get involved in their child’s education by: 

• running focus groups and online surveys for parents to have their say
• holding national and local events such as conferences and information days
• keeping parents up to date with the latest educational developments through their website, e-newsletter and social media channels
• supporting local parent councils by providing advice, information and practical help
• providing parent friendly information through the ‘…in a Nutshell’ series. The full range of nutshells can be viewed on our publications guide.
