Having a Say at School: research on pupil councils in Scotland (2006-2009)

This is a three year project looking in-depth at pupil councils.  It is a partnership between Children in Scotland and the University of Edinburgh, and is funded by the Big Lottery Fund. The objectives are:

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