From Voice to Action
ACT Parents uses submissions as one of the ways we turn parent and carer experiences into real influence on public education policy.
We make submissions to consultations, inquiries and reviews to ensure the realities of families and school communities are understood where decisions are made. Our submissions are practical, evidence-informed and grounded in what parents, carers and P&Cs tell us.
This approach has helped secure changes that better support students, families and school communities across the ACT.
