DCSF launches consultation on pupil and parent guarantees

The DCSF has launched a consultation on Pupil and Parent guarantees. They claim the Pupil and Parent Guarantees (PPG) bring together in one place an account of the key components of a good education. The focus is on the entitlements and the responsibilities of pupils and parents. The Guarantees will help to ensure that  parents and pupils know what they can expect from schools. The Guarantees also spell out what schools can expect from parents and pupils in terms of their responsibilities to support schools. This consultation sets out the full text of the Pupil and Parent Guarantees and seeks views on whether the requirements for pupils, parents, schools and Local Authorities are clear and understandable, whether all the ‘musts' and ‘shoulds' detailed in the guarantees are correct and whether the responsibilities and entitlements for schools, pupils and parents are correctly balanced. Closing Date: Monday 5 April 2010
