Joint statement from Merseyside Police and Liverpool city council on recent school communications

Merseyside Police and Liverpool City Council have jointly issued a statement aimed at reassuring parents and caregivers regarding recent concerns about potential threats to schools in Liverpool. They emphasized that local schools maintain well-developed and regularly practiced procedures designed to protect both students and staff whenever any potential incidents or threats come to light.

Investigations by Merseyside Police into the origin of these threats are still underway. However, at this point, the authorities consider these messages to be hoaxes, as no credible threats have been identified in the Liverpool area. Police officers continue to offer support and guidance to schools to help manage the situation and maintain a safe environment.

The statement underscores that the safety of pupils and school personnel remains the highest priority for both the police and the council. They expressed gratitude to parents and carers for their patience and cooperation during this time and urged them to keep following the advice provided by their children’s individual schools.

For anyone who possesses relevant information about these incidents, the statement encourages contacting Merseyside Police by calling 101 or sending a direct message to @MerpolCC on social media. When reporting, individuals should reference log number 649 dated 20 January. Alternatively, information can be given anonymously through Crimestoppers by dialing 0800 555 111
