Council
Student Voice is a student-led organisation run by students, for students. This means that the elected representatives of Student Voice make the decisions about how the organisation is run.
Formally the Council was made up of 18 students who were elected by members of what was then ESSA. There were two elected Council members from each of the 9 regions in England. The Council aims to ensure that the actions taken by Student Voice are representative of the views of Student Voice's student members.
Following the re-formation of ESSA as Student Voice the council model is being evaluated and a steering group of young people is looking at possible future representative models.

Famous quotes containing the word council:
“Parental attitudes have greater correlation with pupil achievement than material home circumstances or variations in school and classroom organization, instructional materials, and particular teaching practices.”
—Children and Their Primary Schools, vol. 1, ch. 3, Central Advisory Council for Education, London (1967)
“There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
