Schools Engagement Initiative

Agreed on 27 November 2025. Updated on 27 November 2025

We are committed to working closely with local schools, offering support wherever possible and as demand allows.

As part of this initiative, I aim to visit our local schools at least once a month to:

👥 Build positive relationships with students and staff
🛠️ Explore solutions to any ongoing or emerging issues
🗣️ Provide a visible and approachable presence
🤝 Support a safer and more connected school environment

These visits are an opportunity to listen, learn, and collaborate with our educational partners to ensure the wellbeing of young people in our community.
