    A short guide to the schools forum for schools forum for schools and academies, which may be helpful to stakeholders and the wider school family, is available on GOV.UK.

    Schools forum members will need the skills and competencies to manage Forum business (as detailed in school forum powers and responsibilities) and to take a strategic view across the whole education estate whilst acting as representative of the group that has elected them.  Furthermore, they should be easily contactable and pro-active in raising the profile of issues and communicating decisions, and the reasons behind them, effectively. 

    Further information on Devon Education Forum to include the Constitution, details of full membership and minutes of meetings etc. is available on the Devon County Council website.

    The date of the next DEF meeting is 20 November 2018.

    Yours sincerely
    Clare Coates
