Advisory Board

Why have an Advisory Board?

The purpose of the Advisory Board is to ensure that the Leeds Parent Partnership Service delivers a high quality service that is responsive to local needs, taking into account best practice both locally and nationally and to ensure that all stakeholders' views have representation.

What are the functions of the Advisory Board?

The primary functions of the Advisory Board are to:

• Monitor performance of the Parent Partnership Service through the service delivery plan.
• Monitor the impartiality of the service.
• Receive reports from the Parent Partnership Service Coordinator, to include information on the budget, staffing, partnerships and participation.
• Receive parental feedback regarding special educational needs provision and the Parent Partnership Service.
• Meet with representatives of the Local Authority to communicate areas of concern and influence local policy and practice.
• Promote the interests and concerns of the Parent Partnership Service.
• Identify ways of supporting and developing Parent Partnership work.

The Advisory Board acknowledges that any decisions made which require delegated power, may not be acted upon by the Board, but will be referred to the Local Authority for actioning if appropriate.

Who sits on the Advisory Board?

The Board is made up of individuals from different backgrounds such as statutory services (health, social care, education), the voluntary sector and parents of children with special educational needs. There is a maximum of 18 people who can be a member of the board.

How often does the Advisory Board meet?

The Board meets four times a year.
