Staff Quotes – Suggestions
• “Staff smoking should be dealt with first –
parents won’t stop if they know staff are doing
it in the grounds. Maybe volunteers to
promote no smoking and warn of the dangers
they are subjecting children to – and to speak
to those who are ignoring the signs”
• “Provide them with a weatherproof smoking
area and stop trying to prevent what you
can’t. Its an addiction”
