The purpose of a Parents’ Forum.

A parents’ Forum is an independent and informal forum for parents, which they lead and run themselves. The forum needs to be clear about its purpose and decides its own agenda for meetings.
The group promotes two way communication – it can advise the school, or be consulted on parental views and concerns, and can ask the school to be informed on initiatives and actions taking place within the school.
The forum communicates with the school mainly through the governing body; it is suggested that the forum meets every six weeks, with the meetings being held two weeks in advance of governors meetings, to give the forum scribe time to get notes to the governor acting as liaison. This also gives the governors time to then feed back to the forum before the next meeting.
The forum can invite speakers to meetings, eg the Headteacher, Local Authority representatives, or a local politician.
