About Connect
Our Vision is a Scotland where every child and young person thrives through empowered parental engagement.
Our Mission is to advance effective parental and family engagement, inclusion, and representation in every early years and school community for the thriving future of Scotland's children and young people.
We are an independent charity funded by membership. We do not receive any local authority or government grant funding for our core services. We are pleased to work with partners on specific projects that support parental engagement in education and that deliver results for children and young people.
Our Members are a mixture of Parent Councils, Parent Teacher/Staff Associations and other parent groups who pay for membership (self-funded) or have membership paid for them by their local authority. Connect also hosts the Scottish Assembly of Parents and Carers.
Connect is led by a Board of Directors and has a small staff team who work remotely most of the time.
