We want to make you aware of the joint statement from Merseyside Police and Liverpool City Council which reads as follows:

We would like to reassure parents and carers that schools in Liverpool have well established and practised procedures to keep children and school staff safe when schools are made aware of potential incidents or threats

Merseyside Police enquiries regarding the cause of these threats are ongoing, but at this stage we believe they are hoax messages and there have been no credible threats in Liverpool. Officers are continuing to provide reassurance and advice to those schools.

The safety of students and staff is our highest priority. We’d like to thank parents and carers for their patience and understanding and ask that they continue to follow advice and guidance from their child’s individual schools.
