If you want to get people involved in your consultation you need to make sure they know it's happening.

Here are a few tips what you need to let everyone know about the consultation:

  • It's about what you want in your school or group.
  • Sainsbury's will use your ideas to help every school or group in the country.
  • The best ideas will win prizes for our school or group.
  • What the five Active Ideas are:
    • Active Time – break time and after-school clubs
    • Active Sports – new and different sports
    • Active Enterprise – learning about how a supermarket works
    • Active Cooking – creating tasty, healthy food
    • Your Active Idea –  a completely new idea from you
  • When and how people can tell you their ideas.
  • When you will let them now the results.

Promotion - letting people knows what’s happening

Assemblies
these are a great way to talk to your whole school, but you need to make sure what you say is interesting, clear and that you say it in a fun way.  There are more ideas in Active Kids Get Talking in assembly
Posters
posters all around your school or group building will remind people that about the consultation.  You could do a different poster for each of the Active Ideas.  Make sure you put them in places that everyone will see, like on the front door and in the dining hall (and make sure you ask a teacher or groups leader first).
Website
put a notice up on your school or group website and computers, you could ask your teachers or group leaders to show it on their interactive whiteboards.  If you're really good with computers you could make it Flash or even include a little video.
Leaflet
handing out a leaflet to everyone in the school or at group meetings will make sure they all have lots of information, and you can use pictures and colour to make it look good.
Stall
set up a table in the playground and decorate it bright colours, maybe play some music, when people come over to find out what is going on you can tell them about the consultation.  If you have leaflets you could give them out at the stall.
Notice boards
make sure your school or group council notice board and any other notice boards around the school or group building have information about the consultation on them.
Class council meetings
make sure you tell people about the consultation in your class council meetings at least a week before it happens so they have time to come up with really good ideas.
Newsletter
if you have a school or group newsletter put a story in about the consultation.
Letters
if you want to get people outside your school or group involved (parents, local business people) send them a letter telling them why is a good idea.  Ask your teacher or group leader if there is some paper with the school's or group’s name on you can use.
