Developing your practice

For settings with ongoing sustainability actions

Your sustainability policy and strategy will guide you over the long term. To support your progress, establish collaborative ways of working and look for funding opportunities.

A behaviour change programme will be key to improving sustainability at your setting. From water use to active travel, you can inspire your staff and learners to act more sustainably.

Get parents involved

Sustainability fundamentals

For settings with children and younger learners, parents and guardians can be a key influence. It's important to engage them on any changes you're making. Many parents care about sustainability and will want to support your work.

Using sustainable suppliers will help reduce your setting's emissions. Start reviewing your supply chain to identify improvements, and work with your suppliers to make them happen.
