“The National Parent Survey tells me we need change, and parents need to be partners in that change”

Bridget Phillipson MP, Secretary of State for Education (@bphillipsonMP), delivers the keynote at the #NationalParentSurvey2025 launch — recognising the crucial role of parent voice in shaping education policy.

“Parents should be at the centre of the conversation, as a government we must listen to their voices.”

“We are failing on or responsibility to give a good education for every child.”

“In recent years, parents have been underrepresented, thank you @parentkind for championing the voice of parents”
