Emergency Planning

 

Radio Scilly 107.9 FM

BBC Radio Cornwall 95.1 & 104.4 FM

 

If there is an emergency incident at your children's school and they need to evacuate, listen to your local radio for announcements and information.

On the web, This is Cornwall Opens in a new window and BBC Cornwall Opens in a new window will also provide information about the islands in an emergency incident.

Try to remain calm and in control, keep your family together wherever possible and try to focus on practical things you can do.  If possible, take it in turns for adults to listen to/watch the media to prevent unecessary distress and anxiety.

It is essential that we provide information to you about what occurs during a large scale emergency. We hope this information gives reassurance that we plan for unlikely scenarios, rather than give you the impression we are expecting one in the near future. We must plan for all eventualities, no matter how remote the chance of them occurring is.
