Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
Yes I do. Climate change is an existential crisis. As an Early Years specialist I feel it is important to integrate climate change mitigation and adaptation into the entire curriculum, so that every subject and activity is seen and understood through the lens of climate change.

Yes, this is key to ensuring we can cope with the impacts of climate change. We need to act together as a community.
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
Yes, this is a fairly straightforward act that can make a significant impact.
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
