A new national organisation for school councils has recently been established. Pupil Voice & Participation England aims to support school councils by offering training to teachers and pupils and providing councils with a voice on a national platform. The charity will also introduce a membership network and create a fund for participation.

Kate Parish, Managing Director of Pupil Voice and Participation England, pointed to the importance of school councils as many young people’s first experience of participation, adding “If done well, they can encourage young people to look for further opportunities to engage, but if done badly they could possible serve to alienate young people from taking part in other activities.” The charity hopes to encourage best practice by providing school councils with appropriate advice and support.
