Strategic Framework for Parental Involvement, Parental Engagement, Family Learning and Learning at Home
Findings from two mapping exercises showed that there were variations in the types of professional learning opportunities, content, and timings of delivery, provided to the workforce on:
- parental involvement
- parental engagement
- family learning
- learning at home
Excellence in working with parents and families is recognised as something which is acquired and nurtured over the career journey of teachers and practitioners in settings, childminding, schools and communities which are supportive.
It is recognised throughout the framework that while there are mandatory elements for some sectors, providers and bodies, there are other principles which are encouraged as being good practice. Practitioners and educators should engage with the relevant areas of the Framework to review and improve their practice.

The Framework for parental involvement, parental engagement, family learning and learning at home (PDF, 900 KB) provides a structure within which stakeholders can engage in and deliver professional learning.
Improving outcomes for learners, parents and families remains a key priority across Scotland’s political and educational landscape. In order to achieve this, there is an ongoing need to ensure that the workforce has the appropriate values, competencies, skills, knowledge, experience and qualifications to work effectively with learners, parents and families.
