Six years of being ignored. Yesterday that changed... Four CVF members set the record straight. Starting with @larawong.bsky.social sharing our official statement: 1/

We're curious about the link between stuffy spaces, temperature and exam results. Are you? #SAMHE schools are invited to move their #AirQuality monitor to an exam space this May, so you, and we, can investigate. Find out more, and register your interest via this short google form👉 buff.ly/yBejQ4u

Thanks to our partners, and to Claire Higham for such a clear and thoughtful discussion on ventilation in schools and Long Covid. You can find it on the information section of our YouTube channel along with the full episode. youtu.be/H9-7A_O-voE?...

Discover practical steps you can take today. Many cost little or nothing, and some are perfect for involving students. Find our sharable page here: 📌 www.safeairschools.org/improving-cl...

Children worldwide are suffering from asthma, bronchitis, and weakened immune systems, caused by dangerously high air pollution. This #WorldHealthDay, parents & health experts demand the treatment: clean air powered by clean, renewable energy. Time for policymakers to act! 🧒🏽💙👧🏼 #OurKidsAir

Remember when children were made to sit facing forwards in classrooms and teachers stood behind white lines to reduce the risk of infection? 1/3

Don’t forget our schools 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 “We deserve a country that plans for the future…” ⛈️☀️💨🦠🔥

Today is International Long Covid Awareness Day. 🔹Safe Air Schools UK made contact with the Department for Education (DfE) about the attached, last week. - We have also asked for illness subcodes that would identify the specific causes of authorised illness absence.

Safe Air Schools are grateful for the opportunity to submit evidence in line with our mission to ensure clean air in schools and playgrounds remains central to key discussions and decisions. 1/

Brilliant, thanks @safeairschoolsuk.bsky.social

Essential reading 👏 #SafeAirForAll #CleanAir #HealthyPlaces

My new research is out "Overview and Pathophysiology of Long Covid" I provide an updated overview of key concepts, terminology and epidemiology of LC. I also offer an analysis of key mechanisms of pathology and multi-organ involvement in #LongCovid www.mdpi.com/2673-8112/6/...

Grateful for the opportunity to input into Ireland’s Air Quality Strategy. To remain aligned with WHO health-based guidelines, the Strategy should now include indoor air quality. People experience air through exposure not just outdoor concentrations - this includes inside schools

📣 📣 ACTION ITEM 📣 📣 From IL? Our Clean Air for Healthy Equitable Schools bill (HB 4739) will have a hearing in the House’s Education Policy Committee on March 25th at 8:00 am. We need WITNESS SLIPS! Follow this link. See images for more info. Not from IL? Pls repost! ilga.gov/House/hearin...

Thank you @jimreedbbc.bsky.social Recognising the virus could spread in the air (like the virus that causes measles & flu) would have shifted schools from cleaning surfaces to cleaning air. We still can We have the tools for less than 5p per child per day 👉 www.portsmouth.co.uk/education/th...

With Module 3 of the UK COVID Inquiry released today serious questions are being raised. Safe Air Schools expert, @joseluisjimenez.bsky.social - one of the scientists behind global recognition of airborne COVID‑19 spread - has long called for schools & public buildings to reflect the evidence.

📺️ Fantastic interview with Dr Rupert Higham from the Institute of Education at UCL and Prof David Putrino 'On Medical Education for Long Covid, ME and IACI' It is divided into named chapters for accessibility and there is also a transcript. #LongCovidAwarenessDay youtu.be/S5amDZFaVeE?...

⚡️Every Infection Matters⚡️ Here @putrinolab.bsky.social talks about the: 🔹impact of each viral hit 🔹how the longevity gurus are missing this key factor 🔹the impact on students in his class Full vid 'On Medical Education' 🖇️ 👇️ #LongCovidAwarenessDay

Honoured to join today’s Climate and Nature Education event as a panelist, billed as the UK’s largest yet. The event forms part of the trade union year of climate action organised through collaboration between the National Education Union, University & College Union (UCU), Unison

Understanding UNauthorised absence The leading cause of *authorised* absence in all four nations has been illness for over a decade Attending school is not a choice a child can make #BenedictsLaw 👏 #EllasLaw #CleanAir ffteducationdatalab.org.uk/2026/03/unde... @jneill.bsky.social

Biggest thanks to everyone who signed the petition, supported the call and helped to get this over the line. Warmest congratulations to Helen & family to whom we owe a huge debt. In Benedict’s name, from September, children will attend school more safely Onward. #Allergy #BenedictsLaw

👭 On #InternationalWomensDay we honour the women with Long Covid and ME and allies who keep pushing for truth, research, and care. ♀️Listen to women. Fund the science.

Grateful for the women around the world rising to protect children. #HappyInternationalWomensDay2026

🎈Change is coming in schools 🎈New statutory guidance 🎈Consultation launched today Following work with the National Allergy Strategy indoor/outdoor air (respiratory) working group, Safe Air Schools UK were pleased to contribute to this document.

Safe Air Schools UK has been calling for attendance policies aligned with public health, including ending the counterproductive 100% attendance awards that penalise medically vulnerable pupils #CleanAirForAll #LongCovidAwareness

Today International Long Covid Awareness Month starts #LongCovid

COVID messaging is fading but the virus isn’t. The data keeps warning us, yet without clear guidance on ventilation, vaccination, and indoor risk, people navigate blind. Treating the pandemic as over weakens readiness for the next one. Honest communication and resilient data systems are essential.

🌀 Indoor air quality, research stuck in silos. Authors call for integrated teams across engineering, epidemiology, & aerosol science to study real‑world transmission, build shared language, & drive practical, scalable interventions that cut airborne disease risk. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Yesterday, the WHO European Region said people continue to develop Long COVID after new COVID-19 infections. “In the lab, COVID is a Level 3 biohazard. In schools, it's no big deal. I don't think you can reconcile those two statements” - Colin Furness, infection control epidemiologist

Ventilation plays an important role in preventing airborne infections. Opening a window helps, but real ventilation is about consistent airflow. CO₂ monitors can give a simple signal of how much shared air is building up indoors. Share to help raise awareness. 💨🌿 #CleanAir #CO2Monitor #Ventilation

Harm from C 19 continues. Who is doing what? We’re grateful for responses to our open letter from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 & 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Education Ministers & look forward to continuing dialogue. Meanwhile 100’s of 1000’s have now viewed our article: The 5p Solution. Appetite for practical action is clear.

Would you like to put a poster up in your area to raise awareness about #WoodBurning? We've got some left from our Clean Air Night campaign and would hate for them to go to waste. For more info and to order: bit.ly/m4l-canposte...

In case of interest to you, @craigbennett3.bsky.social, and the possibility of linking the #GreeningToolkit with all regional @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social - SAS's founder @natpearson.bsky.social spoke to Liz Bonnin about 1 key aspect of this, at RNN march. @richardbenwell.bsky.social

This seems like more of an obvious fight to have than getting worked up over social media.

1/ Vote won! Victory 🎉 New statutory guidance mandating allergy safety in schools has been passed. This means legal protection for children with allergies. A truly historic day. #BenedictsLaw #SafeSchools #Allergy
