Many colleagues will be aware of the serious fire affecting our local community in Stourbridge.
We know that a significant number of Dudley Academies Trust employees live in and around the area affected, and we are also conscious that families from Greenfield Primary School are likely to be amongst those affected by, or living very close to, the incident.
Some colleagues may live close to the affected area, may know people who have been directly impacted, or may have friends, relatives or members of their wider community who are now facing an incredibly difficult and distressing time.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected, their families and the wider community.
At Dudley Academies Trust, our commitment to Respecting each other and our world means looking after one another when it matters most. We want colleagues to know that the Trust is here to provide both emotional and practical support.
Please read the following important news update about the range of support the Trust will be providing at this very difficult time: https://www.dudleyacademiestrust.org.uk/supporting-our-colleagues-and-community/
