The guide includes an example meeting template that will enable children to share what is important to children both in your school as well as in the local community.\nIt will also provide children with the opportunity to understand what the purpose is of having a governing body in schools.\nWhat are the benefits?\nWe believe this is important because it allows children to develop their understanding of the role of Governors. How they act as a critical friend to schools to ensure children have the best possible outcomes.\nThrough this process Governors will also benefit from hearing firsthand about what is going well and what issues children are facing and be able to work together to come up with solutions.\nOutcomes:\nChildren understand the power of their voice and their right to be heard.\nChildren understand roles and purpose of Governors in schools.\nStep by Step Guide:\nStep 1: Find out who the school governors are, via school website or display boards.\nStep 2: Use invite template letter attached. This can be taken from any pupil voice you have captured on issues that are prevalent to children’s well-being in school & beyond. Some examples: road safety, mental health and well-being, the need to be more physically active, sustainability, greener spaces etc.\nStep 3: Before your governors attend your meetings, write to your governors to inform them of topic of discussions, if you have an agenda, you could send this and ask councillors of AOB. Ideally prior to the meetings if children could think of 2 things they like about their focus area and 3 things that would make it better. Ask governors to do the same.\nCan the children come up with solutions to these issues?\nStep 4: Hold your meeting: Do your introductions and roles. Discuss with governors preferred future communications (visits, emails, newsletters etc).\nCollaborate with governors on joint initiatives, such as community events, workshops, or awareness campaigns related to children’s health & education. Discuss with them how you would like to be on future interview panels for staff recruitment.\nStep 5:  Thank you letter to your governors with a summary of discussions and actions.\nDear Governors,\nYou are invited to an afternoon tea party, hosted by the school council.\nDay & time:\nVenue:\nAgenda:\nActions required before the meeting\nWe would like you to consider \u003Cinsert topic of discussion>\nWe would like you to consider 2 things that are going well in this area\n1:\n2:\nAnd 3 things that would make it better\n1:\n2:\n3:\nIf you wish to add AOB please do so below","cbCaiqQ5DNS97mLD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqQ5DNS97mLD","docx",585482,"English","# Step-by-Step Guide\n## Identify the school governors\n## Use the invitation template letter\n## Inform governors and prepare discussion prompts\n## Hold the meeting and collaborate\n## Send a thank-you letter","[{\"question\":\"How do pupils identify who the school Governors are?\",\"answer\":\"Pupils can find them via the school website or display boards, then use that information to prepare the invitation.\"},{\"question\":\"What should pupils include in the invite letter before the meeting?\",\"answer\":\"The invite should inform Governors of the discussion topic, include an agenda if available, and suggest what children like about the focus area and what would make it better.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens during the meeting and what is the follow-up?\",\"answer\":\"The meeting includes introductions, clarifying roles, agreeing preferred future communications, and collaborating on initiatives.
