Climate-Literate Safeguarding: Applying KCSIE to Climate-Shaped Contexts

# data[].attributes.body
Offer by Kit Marie Rackley (UEA Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research)

This session helps school leaders and DSLs explore how existing KCSIE safeguarding principles can be applied to climate-shaped contexts. It introduces climate change as a contextual safeguarding risk amplifier, not a new safeguarding category. Using short scenarios, participants consider how heat, flooding, water disruption, poor air quality, wildfire smoke, climate distress and misinformation may affect pupils’ welfare, attendance, behaviour, health, visibility and access to learning. The session is designed to support schools adding a short climate-literate annex to a safeguarding INSET.

We give children the opportunity to experience the joy of fresh vegetables and fruits. We believe learning about food should be more carrot, less stick.

Fully funded access for UK Primary Schools and Nurseries is currently available.

Schools and nurseries already signed up

In the UK 79.1% of 5 to 10 year olds eat fewer than 3.5 portions of fruit and veg a day.

Every child deserves taste education to help them learn to enjoy the foods their body needs and reach their potential in life.

We provide schools with the support and resources to do this.

TastEd (based on the Sapere method) is a form of sensory food education that delivers the National Food Strategy recommendations.

What is Our Aim?

We're a charity aiming to revolutionise the way Food Education is taught in the UK, so that taste education becomes a basic aspect of every child's knowledge.

What do we do?

We offer teachers support, training and resources to deliver a range of simple, classroom based, sensory food education lessons that are tailored to UK curriculum.

Take your first step
towards becoming a
zero carbon school

Green Schools Project is on a mission to change the way schools respond to the climate and nature crisis.

Eco anxiety is on the rise. Young people feel increasingly powerless and worried about their future. Teachers want to do more to include the climate emergency in lessons but often don't have the knowledge, confidence, or time they need to do it justice. We enable schools to embed climate education into lessons and become more sustainable through a range of training, support, and resources. This gives teachers and young people the tools they need to tackle the climate crisis at school, in their communities and throughout their lives.

This is the defining issue of our time, and our young people will have to deal with the worst of the consequences. We need to act now to help schools get serious about sustainability, and give young people hope for a greener future.

Our pupils didn't fully understand what was happening with climate change. Now that they understand and they know what the issues are, they've been much more conscientious about the environment.

Jessica Todd Selwyn Primary School

We are delighted with the support from Green Schools Project and feel that the Zero Carbon Schools programme is enabling us to make better choices as a whole school to mitigate the impact of our carbon emissions. Thank you for your dedication and support!

The Four Cs: An Emerging Whole-School Climate Framework

# data[].attributes.subject
The Four Cs: An Emerging Whole-School Climate Framework

# data[].attributes.body
Many schools already organise climate action around the DfE's four pillars.

Increasingly, organisations are also bringing together activity through four interconnected themes:

• Culture
• Curriculum
• Careers
• Community

This approach can help schools move beyond isolated projects and towards a joined-up whole-school strategy.

Reflective question: Could the Four Cs provide a useful lens for reviewing your own Climate Action Plan?

# data[].attributes.body
A powerful reflection from Climate Ambassador Paul Edmond (HEART Academies Trust) on what successful climate action looks like in schools and trusts.

The key message? Progress matters more than perfection.

Climate action becomes sustainable when it is embedded across leadership, governance, estates, curriculum, procurement, catering, ICT, communications and community partnerships rather than relying on one enthusiastic member of staff.

Reflective question: How dependent is your climate action currently on a small number of individuals?

Offer by Ethan Bernstrom Girvan

This session introduces students to the exciting world of environmental modelling - tools used by scientists and engineers to predict floods, understand climate change and make key decisions for our cities and ecosystems.

[Online or In-Person delivery - depending on location]

Whilst university applications often focus on individual subjects, real-world challenges demand interdisciplinary thinking. This session encourages students to consider how their interests, such as geography and technology, can be combined in meaningful, impactful careers.

This session is delivered as a presentation, with an optional interactive activity (depending on in-person or online delivery).

Session Content:

1. Introduction to environmental models, including AI, and their role/ importance of models in decision making

2. Real-world examples from engineering and environmental science including flood forecasting, pollution management, urban planning and climate projections.

3. An interactive activity where students 'become environmental modellers' and design a simple model to predict flood risk.

4. Introduction to related university/ career pathways.

Target Audience:

Suitable for GCSE students and above (Years 9 -13).Subjects: Geography, Science, Engineering, Computer Science and Maths. Sessions can be adjusted to emphasise a particular subject from above.

I have written a short, 30 minute talk all about packaging and how we can dispose of it sensibly to help with saving the planet. I work for a packaging company and explain what is being done by packaging companies to make products more environmentally friendly, and how pupils can easily recycle their packaging both at home and at school. I am then happy to answer the young people's questions for another 15 minutes or so, however long you think would fit into your lesson time. We could use that 15 minutes to have a discussion on how they can improve disposing of their waste (both at home and school) and some things they would now do differently. The whole session should last about 40-45 minutes but I'm happy to work with you if you want to tweak it a bit.

I can do this talk at any school in the Bedfordshire, or the surrounding area.

Please give me around 2 months notice so that I can organise flexible working time with my employer. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Agricultural societies across the country organise schools days as part of their charitable profile - take a look at some of the websites to get a feel for what the day is about. The day will also support climate action plans and Eco-Schools. There will be representation from local environmental education organisations as well as national organisations that support sustainability.

The children will arrive around 9.30am and depart around 2.30pm and will be managed by their teaching staff. We plan to accommodate only 400-500 children.

If you are interested in supporting this event, please contact both matthew.studdert-kennedy@shuttleworth.org and ruth.sneath@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk, stating that you are a Climate Ambassador who wishes to support in ensuring attending schools can link the experience of the day to climate action planning.

Our Big Blue Home: Learn and Protect! – a series of articles for children by MPA Europe Partners

# data[].attributes.body
Articles for children older than 8 years old. Some articles explore how marine animals adapt to their habitats and human activities can often harm these habitats, how some species can create ocean habitats for other species to live in, and how seagrasses, the meadows of the sea, are not only important as habitats for other species but also for protecting coastlines. Another article explains how scientists are assessing and predicting marine species distributions, bearing in mind current and future climate pressures, and how these distributions can be used to establish MPAs. What protection means in MPA is the subject of another article, which elaborates on the different levels of protection and how MPA benefit marine life and the society.
