From the Children’s Commissioner

I want to make sure that I hear from as many children as possible, aged 0-18, from all backgrounds, in all schools and colleges, and in every part of the country. To do that, I need your help.

I am asking children about the changes they want to see in their communities, their biggest concerns, and their hopes for the future. More than anything, I want to know what they think a good childhood should look like today.

I am asking you to share the survey with all the children, parents and carers in your school or college community. Schools and colleges that achieve high participation rates will receive formal recognition for their contribution to amplifying children’s voices and encouraging civic engagement, and a summary of their pupils’ responses.

To support you to do this, I have created a pack of resources which include an introductory video, a lesson plan, and FAQs, which are available on my website. I would be grateful if you could ensure that every child in your school or college has taken part before the deadline of Friday 23 October.

I will be publishing my findings next year, and they will be used to advocate at the highest level for solutions that children want to see, to the problems that they tell me are most important to them.

Thank you for your support.

Yours sincerely,

Dame Rachel de Souza

Children’s Commissioner

Dear Car Drivers,

We are seeing more and more dangerous and illegal driving at the front gate.

As you will have seen this week there has been increased police and Traffic Enforcement presence to help our children.

Please, if you need to drive, can you use the car parks off the main road. See the attachment.

Pupils can then walk from there.

This will also stop parents getting stuck and doing dangerous and illegal moves in the road.

Mr Fox
