WSCC AE Schools Waste Education Programme - AWARD

The West Sussex Waste Partnership (WSWP) brings together West Sussex County Council (The Council) and the seven local authorities in West Sussex with the aim of providing the best possible waste management services for residents. For several years, The Council and the WSWP have provided schools at Key Stages 1 and 2 with a waste education programme via a third-party contract. The programme has included dedicated webpages offering access to: waste prevention and recycling themed educational resources linked to the National Curriculum (for online viewing, interaction and/or download); competitions; case studies; and schools liaison/engagement services.

The Council intends to continue to offer a waste education programme for schools at Key Stages 1 and 2 in line with the requirements set out in the Specification. The Council also intends to offer a new waste education programme to schools at Key Stages 3 and 4.
