School Uniform Recycling Toolkit 2024

Posted on by

The Southern Area School Uniform Recycling Toolkit is a FREE resource for any school, community organisation or group to use to help set up a recycling scheme. Including editable flyers, checklist templates and evaluation tools, this resource can be used across Northern Ireland – download here

For anyone who wishes to use the Toolkit, or for further information, contact Darren Curtis, CYPSP, at localityplanning@ci-ni.org.uk, as we aim to track all usage of the resource to demonstrate the impact of this initiative.

See our 2023 Toolkit Infographic to find out about the impact of last year’s School Uniform Recycling Initiative on schools and organisations.

Thanks for your submissions towards another jam-packed edition of our e-bulletin.  Please note, the Digital Discovery Online Focus Group on page 26 takes place tomorrow morning via MSN Teams, so register soon if you can. It’s a really good chance to offer practical feedback and ideas to help improve digital media coverage of mental health and emotional wellbeing support across Northern Ireland.

Other opportunities are included across the Southern Area, with sections also running at the back for area-specific events, programmes and support. Please share these with colleagues and families with whom you work.

Please take a couple of minutes to complete a very short survey on ‘FYI’ which will give you the chance to suggest ways we can improve this invaluable resource – See page 3.

You will see in this edition, two great new sources of information and support which have been raised at our Locality Planning Groups over the last couple of years. The first, on page 21, gives you links to the new Bereaved NI database on bereavement support and offers a range of essential support for all ages. The second, on page 33, is the recently-produced guidance by the PHA on vaping, providing factual information and advice to inform young people, teachers, parents/carers and others working with young people about vaping, the law and associated risks.
