Shaping the Future: Strengthening Scotland's education system through empowered schools
Final report of the Independent Professional Advisor on future school reform in Scotland, with a focus on improvement, funding and governance.
Appendix E - Call For Views Overview
As part of his engagement activity, Mr Wilson issued a formal Call for Views to ensure that a broad and representative range of voices from across the education system could contribute to the development of this report and supplement the direct engagements undertaken.
The written Call for Views provided an inclusive means of gathering evidence, enabling individuals and organisations to share considered reflections from diverse educational contexts. This approach ensured that the report reflects the breadth of experience across Scotland’s education system and is informed by those working most closely with learners and supporting the system at local and national levels.
An overview of the stakeholder groups that were invited to provide views is included in the table below.
| Stakeholder Group and Organisations | Number of Organisations invited to provide a view | Response rate |
|---|---|---|
| Local Government, including COSLA, ADES and SOLACE | 35 | 98% |
| Children, Young People, Parent and Carers Organisations | 12 | 83% |
| Trade Unions and Professional Bodies | 8 | 100% |
