Schools invited to join the Clean Air Crew

Poor air quality affects the health of young people and the vulnerable disproportionately. Children and young people are more vulnerable to air pollution than adults because their brains, lungs and other organs are still developing. Poor air quality can lead to asthma, reduced lung function, respiratory infections and allergies in children and young people.

Primary schools are in an excellent position to promote and encourage environmental awareness and therefore, to support schools with this, Liverpool City Council is working with the Eco Centre in Southport to develop and promote the Clean Air Crew.

Clean Air Crew is a unique primary education learning resource, focussing on air quality issues.  All schools in Liverpool are able to sign up to the website to access the teaching resources developed and designed by educators with 20+ years of experiences delivering environmental education. These free resources includes teachers notes, pupil activity sheets, games, videos and quizzes.

In addition, Liverpool City Council is funding school visits to access the Southport Eco Centre’s award-winning education visit programme to learn more about air quality and climate change and to explore interactive experiences in the new immersive room. Schools will be contracted directly by Liverpool City Council with more details.
