WORK PACKAGE 5

Work with children, young people, and school communities throughout the CHILI project, giving them the knowledge and tools to help improve the air quality and comfort of their learning environments.

What We Will Do

Work with children and young people, school staff, and parents to make sure their views help shape the project.

Learn from successful programmes that have improved environmental health through education.

Design easy-to-use digital tools that help schools collect information about air quality and classroom temperatures.

Test these tools in schools across England and Wales.

Help schools use this information to make positive changes to their learning environments.

How We Will Do It

Partner with existing school and youth networks to ensure a wide range of children, families, and schools are involved.

Review existing research and examples of good practice to identify what works best.

Produce together a web-based app with children, young people, and teachers to collect and display information on classroom air quality and comfort.

Pilot the app in a group of schools before expanding its use to schools across England and Wales.

Support schools in using their data to improve health and sustainability, including through programmes such as Healthy Schools and Eco-Schools.

Why This Matters

This work will give schools the tools and knowledge they need to understand their indoor environments and take action to improve them. By involving children, families, and school staff throughout the process, the solutions developed will be practical, useful, and relevant to the people who use schools every day.
