Description

The Schools Water Strategy (SWS) is an invest to save strategy aimed at reducing the risk of flooding in schools.

In April 2022 the departments Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy (SSCS)1 was announced. Two of the Strategic aims are:

-Enhancing biodiversity, improving air quality and increasing access to, and connection with, nature in and around education and care settings.
The SWS goal is to reduce the risk of flooding in 800 schools by 2026, which we have been working towards for several years.
