Message from Mr Flood – 09.03.26
We are aware of messages that have been circulating both in the media and on social media today regarding threats being made to some schools in Liverpool. To reassure parents, we can confirm that we have not received any threat.
Please refer to the statement below issued by Merseyside Police and sent to all schools by Liverpool City Council.
Merseyside Police have also issued a statement this morning:
We can confirm that enquiries are ongoing after reports of malicious communications at several Merseyside schools.
A number of schools have received similar email communications and enquiries are ongoing. At this stage, these are all believed to be hoaxes, and we will be looking to identify those involved and take appropriate action.
Chief Inspector Phil Thompson said: “We understand that parents and carers will be concerned and as a result we are liaising with all schools and providing advice and reassurance as enquiries continue.
“Based on the information we have received and assessed, there has been no requirement for those schools to close.”
If you have any information, you can call 101 or DM @MerpolCC on social media. You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
