Parental Engagement

We have developed the vision for Parental and Family Engagement in West Dunbartonshire.

Through a series of support sessions, stakeholders have had the opportunity to develop and deepen their understanding of roles and responsibilities in this area.

In partnership with the Parent Teacher Council for Scotland, we developed a support package for Parent Councils. This is aligned with the parental representation strand of the WDC parental and family engagement strategy.

All learning community parent councils were offered the opportunity to attend a 'get to know you' session where they identified training and support that they would find useful to support them in their role.

Every P7 pupil in West Dunbartonshire was offered a Young Scot National Entitlement card. 716 pupils, 76% of all P7s applied for and were granted a card in the bulk application process.
