Dear Parent/Carer,

I am writing to let you know that the school will be bringing in a visiting therapy dog named Nova to support mentoring sessions on site at Willow Bank. Nova has undergone the appropriate medical checks and training to work as a therapy dog in a school setting.

Pupils may be invited to take part in sessions with the dog on a 1:1 or small group basis.

Please use the link below to provide consent for your child to take part in interactions with Nova, or to inform us of any known dog-related allergies, apprehension or phobias which mean it would not be appropriate for your child to come into contact with a dog on school site.

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards
