Actions we Need to Take
Five Actions to Bring Clean Air to Schools
It’s Councillors on the Local Education Authority who will take the decision about whether to provide clean air for our kids in schools or not. Please contact the Council Leader and the Chair of the Children’s Policy Committee.
Local Education Authority
School Head Teachers and Governors can take a lead and install air cleaning in their schools. Any school could become the next in your area to improve the air their staff and pupils breathe.
Schools
Parents, please speak to your head teacher or the school governors. Ask them to look at this website. Ask them to prioritise clean air in all classrooms.
Parents
Please contact your local elected ward Councillors and ask them to support clean air in schools. And you don’t have to be a parent of a child in a school to want to help bring clean air to kids in schools. Anyone can do it.
Councillors
The campaign started in Bristol, and what’s good for Bristol schools is good for the whole country. The Government could implement a clean air policy in schools throughout the UK. Please write to your Member of Parliament.
Government and MPs
Action by the Local Education Authority to bring Clean Air for Kids in Schools
Ultimately, the people who will take the decision about whether to provide clean air for kids in schools will be the Councillors on the Local Education Authority (LEA) that runs your local schools. They have the power to make it happen.
So we are asking the Leader of that Local Education Authority and the Chair of the Children’s Policy Committee to agree to protect the health of school kids and staff.
At the same time, they will help schools to save money and improve academic performance. There is absolutely no downside to them taking this decision.
If you agree that kids in schools should breathe clean air when they are in school, would you write to the LEA Leader and Chair of the Children’s Policy Committee, please?
