Best practice:
→ Carry out projects where everyone can participate and bring a contribution. Ensure the project is sustainable - successful projects will have a long-lasting effect; → Develop an action plan in consultation with all key groups. Set some (achievable) targets and constantly monitor and evaluate the progress; → Keep everyone informed (students, staff, parents, governors, wider community, etc.) of progress. Start a notice board, put articles in school newsletters, report back to school council, take assemblies, etc. It may even be possible to invite the local press to a special project e.g. opening a new garden area; → Use school councils - give young people a platform to express views outside the school;
