Have your say on policing in schools

Remi Joseph-Salisbury is a researcher at the University of Manchester and a community organiser.

I’m currently leading a national research project exploring the presence and impact of police in and around schools, and I’m really keen to ensure that the voices and experiences of Romany and other Traveller communities are represented in this work.

I’m writing to ask if you might be willing to share our call for testimonies through your networks. We’re looking to hear from anyone with relevant experience or reflections — including students (past or present), parents/carers, school staff, and youth workers.

People can share their experiences in any way that suits them — via WhatsApp, email, or by filling in a short online form:
