Funded by the DfE, Climate Ambassadors match volunteer climate experts with education settings.
Part of Let’s Go Zero, Climate Action Advisors are independent experts who offer free support for schools, colleges, and nurseries across England.
About
Involve parents and carers in your setting's sustainability work by keeping them informed about what learners are doing, why it is important and how they can support initiatives at home.
Where appropriate, parents and carers might be able to contribute practical support, professional expertise or local connections to help your sustainability initiatives.
Start by identifying specific activities where parent and carer engagement would add value - such as active travel drives or uniform swaps - rather than trying to involve them in every decision.
Why
Climate action is more effective when what habits at your setting connect directly with conversations at home. Keeping parents and carers informed helps build a shared understanding, reinforces the learning and action taking place, and creates positive shifts across your wider community.
How
Your sustainability lead, or person coordinating climate action, should work with staff who already communicate regularly with parents and carers through established channels - like newsletters and events.
For Early Years settings, you might need need to involve parents and carers more closely.
