Parent governor representatives
A Parent Governor Representative is a parent governor elected by
other parent governors and appointed to local authority committees
dealing with education. When local authorities take decisions about
education they must take account of parent's views. Parent Governor
Representatives help to ensure this happens.
What does a parent governor representative do?
A parent governor representative will represent the views of all
parents in the area of the local authority. He or she will attend
local committees dealing with education and vote on all matters to
do with schools and pupils. A parent governor representative will
not represent the interest of any particular group, school or
locality, or any party political interest. Parent governor
representatives will find out the views of parents in their local
authority area. They will keep parents informed about what issues
the authority is discussing, and what decisions they have made or
are planning.
