You can now keep up to date with local policing news following the launch of our new service, which could impact our schools within North Wales.
North Wales Community Alert is a messaging service for people who live and work in North Wales, to help our communities to stay informed and up to date with news, alerts, appeals, engagement events and general policing activities from your local police teams.
By being a member, you will also have the opportunity to provide feedback to your local neighbourhood police team on the issues that matter most to you, helping us to work together to make North Wales the safest place in the UK.
Registration is completely free, quick and simple.
For more information and to register for North Wales Community Alert, please visit
www.NorthWalesCommunityAlert.co.uk
or www.rhybuddcymunedolgogleddcymru.co.uk for our Welsh website.
I would also urge you to ask your colleagues and parents to sign up. Once signed up, I can send a message to the area to advise parents about forthcoming inputs within my schools.

Flintshire families affected by imprisonment
Supported by North Wales FABI Programme.
As part of this group, we hope to reduce the stigma of having a family member in prison, raise awareness and work to support both children and families who are affected.
Having a parent or other family member in prison, can impact on a child’s sense of identity and how they interact with their family and community. Equally importantly, it can impact on their lives at school. We can offer trained staff, raised awareness, support and advice.
Taken directly from Barnardo’s “Children affected by the imprisonment of a family member – A handbook for schools developing good practice”
“Children affected by parental imprisonment are one of the most vulnerable groups in society but their problems are hidden and their voices are not heard. They are more likely to have low educational attainment, have problems with mental health and at greater risk of becoming offenders themselves – the cost of not helping them is too high.”
