What should I say to my MP about schools?

[Agoodbriskwalk]

I want to write to my MP (who, despite being a Tory is actually fairly reasonable) and say that I think schools should be closed and ask him to intervene.

I'm in the West Midlands.

What should I say? Has anyone got a template or something similar? I know rates are very high in my town but I don't think they're London-high. I just worry that if I don't have a watertight data-filled argument, he will fob me off with stats, when my real point is actually 'This is getting dangerous can we not just shut down for a bit and wait for the vaccine to kick in? Take some action BEFORE we're at the London stage?' We are an hour from London, closer to Birmingham.

On twitter has some templates.

Personally I'd get heavy handed with the language because we are in A heavy situation.

I also wouldn't say its not safe I would ask if he can personally guarantee in writing your dc safety.

That's a good one.

Thank you for the twitter link, I'll check it out. I know what I want to say but I'm afraid I'll say it wrong.

Noblegiraffe had a really good template on a couple of threads recently (that you could tinker with to your own requirements). Sorry, I've no idea where, but you could run a search?

If you have a Facebook account, please come and look at ‘Parents United Against Unsafe Schools’. You will get plenty of advice here too.

Have a look oh his social media

I just looked on ours to see he is already planning to ask government to close ours!

Nothing on his page just some cheery happy new year stuff.

I've emailed him. I stayed away from stats and just said he must know them but the overall picture was dangerous and wrong.

Ask them to prioritise vaccines for teachers and TAs.

I don't mind about getting a response, as such, I just want to add my voice to any thoughts or discussions that he may be having.
