The EcoCampus 7 Steps

The Seven-Step process is intended to be flexible enough to accommodate any campus and each step should be implemented to suit the campus capacity at the point of implementation. The nature of the Seven Steps also allows for the programme to be continually updated as the environmental status and the requirements of the campus change.

Pupils, staff, parents and the wider community come together to lead the programme — setting direction, sharing responsibility, and keeping everyone involved.
