Letter to Schools

When we assign volunteers to visit schools, a standard letter should be sent to the contact at the school, with the wording given below. In this, the words "He/she will co-operate with your normal process and policies for appointing volunteers" refer to DfES guidelines for head teachers and are a non-negative, non-bossy way of saying that we assume that the school will instigate any checks and other risk management procedures its head teacher considers necessary under those guidelines.

*** STANDARD LETTER FOR SENDING TO SCHOOL CONTACTS ***

Dear [name of teacher],
