Download School Uniform Recycling Toolkit: Uniform Inventory

The CYPSP brings together all services and organisations who aim to improve outcomes for children and young people. There are 6 Locality Planning Groups across the Southern Area (3 in ABC Council area) who meet and share information as well as identify actions based on local priorities.

To help support families, the Southern Area Locality Development Team have produced a School Uniform Recycling Toolkit which is a FREE resource for any school to use to help set up a recycling scheme. 

This includes practical help, such as checklists for discussions, timeline and templates for flyers, inventories and evaluations, as well as link to other successful initiatives. 

This resource can be adapted for use by community organisations too.

For further info., contact Darren Curtis, CYPSP, at localityplanning@ci-ni.org.uk.
