Do you know about Participatory Budgeting?

Participatory Budgeting allows people to have a direct say in how local money is spent. In Scotland, community groups & local authorities are using PB to give power to local people. 

Effective collaboration requires working together from the very start, before priorities have been decided and throughout the relevant process.

Therefore, parents should be involved in the planning process for how to spend their Pupil Equity funding.

A Participatory Budgeting approach involves people influencing budgeting decisions that will have a direct impact on their lives. Participatory budgeting is an innovative and effective mechanism to involve parents, particularly those who face additional barriers.
