We have been made aware that there have been several posts circulating on social media from the Great British National Protest calling for people to take part in “opt out days.” These are also being shared by the Bristol Patriots account on social media.
We recognise the heightened levels of concern around protests and other planned activities which have an impact on the communities throughout Bristol. We want to reassure you that Bristol remains a City of Sanctuary, committed to welcoming and supporting people, particularly children, fleeing war and persecution. As a council we reaffirmed this commitment earlier this year, and our Sanctuary Strategy 2025 - 2030 will guide our work over the next five years.
Peaceful protest is a vital part of our democracy. However, we understand that these events may cause concern for you, your friends, your staff, and your families. If you have any concerns about any young people not attending your setting on the proposed opt out dates, please follow your setting’s usual attendance procedures and where appropriate follow your safeguarding procedures.
