The democratic management, in accordance with the relevant legislation was under consideration as well as the tools and resources then available to participate in the educational environment. In the questionnaire, we sought to understand the views of professionals and parents with regard to participatory management and the spaces provided, commitment and responsibilities involved in the processes.
