Having a Say at School. Research on Pupil Councils in Scotland

The project’s objectives

  1. To provide a detailed mapping of current pupil councils in Scotland, and the local government/school infrastructure surrounding these councils
  2. To provide well-grounded information on the effectiveness of these councils, from the perspectives of adults involved and children and young people themselves
  3. To identify the factors that encourage and support effective pupil councils, i.e. ‘what works?’
  4. To explore how pupil councils fit within the broader context of children’s and young people’s participation within and outwith schools
  5. To investigate who is excluded and included by the different forms of participation, and why
  6. To work with children, young people and adults to disseminate this information and help develop improved forms of participation.
