School students at the Dott 07 Festival
In the final session of the Sustainability, Schools and Schooling Debate we heard from Rebecca Gibbs from the Department for Children, Schools and Families.

Hello there. My name’s Rebecca Gibbs and I work at the Department for Children, Schools and Families some of the time. I’m on loan there from the Sustainable Development Commission. And just at the beginning in case I forget to say this at the end, I have to run away because I have to go back to London this evening but I’m not running away from your questions. It’s been really interesting hearing what people are saying about the programme and the problems with it. I can’t promise to influence anything in a major way but I can feedback some of those questions. I didn’t put my email address on this presentation I’m afraid but if you go on to the Sustainable Development Commission website, my name is there and my email address is there. My name’s Rebecca Gibbs. Do feed those issues, points and questions back and I’ll see that they get to the right people. So that’s who I am.
