Municipal School Advocacy Consultation

Response to City School Advocacy Consultation

We will respond with face-to-face consultations.
Also, please be aware that changes may occur due to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

What is the Advocacy Consultation Room

The Public School Advocacy Consultation Room is a consultation desk aimed at early resolution of opinions, requests, and complaints from children and students of Inagi City Public Schools and their Parent or Guardian, with the position of advocating for their rights and interests. It has been open since June 23, 2006.
"Advocacy" is translated from the English term and is referred to in Japanese as "rights protection," "support activities," or "representation activities."

Purpose of System Implementation

In the context of school education, there are individuals who feel unable to directly communicate their dissatisfaction or questions to the school, and believe that even if they do speak up, nothing will improve. As a measure to address this situation, an independent consultation room has been established by the Board of Education to facilitate early resolution, thereby enhancing the trust between students, their Parent or Guardian, and the school, with the aim of further improving satisfaction.

About Advocacy Counselors

The advocacy consultant who receives consultations is someone with extensive educational experience, and the mayor appoints them as the consultant who will lead this system.
Specifically, they will act from the position of protecting the rights and interests of children, students, and their Parent or Guardian, addressing issues from consultation to resolution, and reporting and providing opinions to the advocacy review committee.

About the Advocacy Review Committee

The Advocacy Review Committee is an independent body that receives reports from the Advocacy Officer, conducts reviews of issues that have been submitted for examination in a fair and neutral manner, and makes recommendations to the Mayor based on the results. It is composed of four review committee members appointed by the Mayor.

About Privacy Issues

Children and students, along with their Parent or Guardian, can consult freely with advocacy counselors who are in a neutral position. Additionally, privacy will be protected.
