Welcome to the National Parent Forum of Scotland

The National Parent Forum of Scotland (NPFS) is a volunteer-led organisation that works to ensure that parents play a full and equal role in education. We were established 2009 to give Parent Councils and parents an opportunity to discuss and raise educational issues of mutual interest or concerns at a national level.

We are funded by Scottish Government and hosted by Children in Scotland.
