PQ 306
306. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Education and Youth if she accepts that the revised parental complaints procedure for schools provides adequate independence for parents at each stage of the process; whether her Department has considered introducing an independent element such as a mediator or independent investigator at some point in the procedure before the Ombudsman for Children becomes the first genuinely independent voice a parent encounters, after the entire process has been exhausted; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
