Consultations on education
About this service
Wiltshire Council actively seeks the views of its residents in the decision making process for education within the county.
As part of this process, the Local Authority (LA) undertakes consultation on its plans for education in the county with the publication of draft documents for response.
The proposals are advertised in the press, and copies of relevant documentation are made available to interested parties, including parents, school boards, elected members, unions and school staff. Written comments on proposals are invited from those wishing to express their views.
