Parents' Assembly launchA PARENTS' Assembly was launched in Sheffield this week to help shape services for children over the next two years.
Around 200 parents are working with the council to help drive up aspirations and attainment levels. Initial plans are to hold four assemblies a year, giving members a chance to speak directly to heads and leaders of services.
Coun Andrew Sangar, cabinet member for children's services and lifelong learning, said: "All too often we hear parents telling us they feel they are the last to know what changes are afoot in terms of education or services for young people. This way they will be able to directly challenge leaders in education before changes are made."
