Proceeding contribution from Helen Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education and Inspections Bill.


Education and Inspections Bill

A school’s head teacher is crucial to its success, but he or she will not get every decision right. No human being does, so is that not why we need a series of checks and balances in the system? That includes giving parents a right to have a say, as it is their children’s future at stake. If there is to be a fundamental change in a school’s character, parents should be consulted. That is what I would want if my son’s school were involved, and I am sure that the same is true for other parents.
