1️⃣ Letter 1 — Information request (full‑detail)

Subject: Request for Information Regarding New Wireless System (Including WiFi 6E)

Dear [Headteacher’s Name],

I am writing as a parent to request clear information regarding any recent or planned installation of new wireless infrastructure at [School Name], including WiFi 6E equipment under the DfE’s Connect the Classroom programme.

Specifically, I am requesting:

What equipment (make, model, and type of wireless access points and controllers) has been installed or is planned.
Whether the system is currently active, partially active, or scheduled for activation (with dates).
What safety checks, risk assessments, or exposure evaluations have been completed before activation.

This request is not abstract. It is based on a substantial body of peer‑reviewed scientific literature and international policy decisions,

including:

Oxidative stress review (2016/2019) A comprehensive review by Yakymenko et al. of 100 experimental studies on low‑intensity radiofrequency (RF) radiation reported that 93 out of 100 studies found evidence of oxidative stress in biological systems—such as increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation, DNA damage, and changes in antioxidant defence enzymes. Oxidative stress is a recognised pathway to cellular damage, inflammation, and disease.

WHO/IARC 2011 classification (Group 2B carcinogen) In 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization, classified RF electromagnetic fields as Group 2B: “possibly carcinogenic to humans”. This classification was based primarily on increased risks of glioma and acoustic neuroma in heavy mobile phone users, and it applies to the same RF range used by WiFi technologies.

68.2% of 2,200+ studies reporting biological or health effects A large analysis of more than 2,200 experimental studies in humans, animals, and plants, summarised in The Lancet Oncology context of the IARC evaluation, found that approximately 68.2% of these studies reported significant biological or health effects associated with electromagnetic field exposure. This indicates that biological responses to EMF/RF exposure are common, not rare.

Children’s increased vulnerability (Swedish research, 2017) Swedish researchers (including work by Hardell and colleagues) have highlighted that children are more vulnerable to RF radiation because they have thinner skull bones, smaller head and body size, higher water content in tissues, and a longer lifetime of cumulative exposure. Modelling studies show that children can absorb more RF energy into brain tissue than adults under similar exposure conditions.

BioInitiative Report (1,800+ studies, precaution for schools) The BioInitiative Report, an extensive independent review of over 1,800 scientific studies on low‑intensity EMF and RF exposure, concludes that biological effects occur at levels well below current thermal‑based safety limits. It specifically recommends that wireless devices and networks be strongly discouraged in schools and that wired connections be used instead, particularly to protect children as a vulnerable population.

Harvard paediatric neurologist’s concerns (Martha Herbert) Professor Martha Herbert, a paediatric neurologist affiliated with Harvard Medical School, has stated in formal correspondence that RF radiation from WiFi can exert a “disorganising effect on the ability to learn and remember” and may be destabilising to immune and metabolic function, especially in children and neurologically vulnerable individuals. She has also criticised current safety standards for focusing only on thermal effects.

WiFi 6E and 6 GHz+ frequencies — lack of long‑term biological research WiFi 6E operates in the 6 GHz band and above, a newer, higher‑frequency range. Peer‑reviewed state‑of‑the‑science reviews on RF in the 6–100 GHz range have concluded that long‑term biological and health studies are limited and often unreplicated, particularly for chronic, low‑level exposure in children. Despite this, WiFi 6E is being rolled out into schools, meaning the technology is being deployed before robust long‑term safety data in children exist.

International precautionary policies (France, Israel, Cyprus, Belgium) Several countries have already taken precautionary steps regarding wireless exposure in educational settings:
- France has banned WiFi in nurseries and requires WiFi in primary schools to be disabled when not in use, with mandatory information on RF exposure.
- Belgium has banned WiFi in preschools and restricted advertising of mobile phones to children.
- Israel and Cyprus have issued guidance and restrictions to limit WiFi use in early‑years settings and encourage wired alternatives.

Given this evidence, it is reasonable and necessary for parents to understand precisely what wireless systems are being installed and how the school has assessed and managed potential risks.

I would appreciate a full response within 5 working days.

Yours sincerely,

[Your Name] Parent of [Child’s Name] [Your Contact Details]

2️⃣ Letter 2 — Risk assessment request (full‑detail)

Subject: Formal Request for Risk Assessment for New Wireless System (Including WiFi 6E)

Dear [Headteacher’s Name],

Following my previous request for information about the new wireless system at [School Name], I am now formally requesting a copy of the risk assessment relating to the installation and operation of this system, including any WiFi 6E equipment.

As you know, all new equipment and environmental changes in a school setting require a written risk assessment under standard health and safety and safeguarding duties. Parents are entitled to review this to understand how the school has evaluated and mitigated potential risks to pupils.

Given the scientific and policy context, a generic or purely thermal‑based risk assessment is not sufficient. The assessment should demonstrate that the school has considered, at minimum:

The 2011 WHO/IARC classification of RF electromagnetic fields as a Group 2B possible carcinogen, based on increased brain tumour risks in heavy users.
The Yakymenko et al. review of 100 studies, in which 93 reported oxidative stress effects (ROS increase, DNA damage, antioxidant disruption) from low‑intensity RF exposure.
The analysis of over 2,200 studies showing that 68.2% reported significant biological or health effects from EMF/RF exposure in humans, animals, and plants.
Evidence that children absorb more RF energy and are more vulnerable due to thinner skulls, smaller body size, higher water content, and longer lifetime exposure.
The BioInitiative Report recommendations that wireless networks be avoided in schools and replaced with wired alternatives where possible.
Professor Martha Herbert’s concerns about cognitive, immune, and metabolic disruption from WiFi exposure, particularly in children.
The lack of long‑term biological research on 6 GHz+ WiFi 6E frequencies, especially for chronic exposure in children.
The fact that France, Belgium, Israel, and Cyprus have already taken precautionary measures to restrict or limit WiFi in nurseries and primary schools.

Please provide:

The full risk assessment document(s) relating to the new wireless system.
Any specific assessment of pupil RF exposure levels in classrooms and other occupied areas.
Any consideration given to wired alternatives as a risk‑reduction measure.

I request that this documentation be provided within 5 working days.

Yours sincerely,

[Your Name] Parent of [Child’s Name] [Your Contact Details]

The planned activation schedule, including dates and any phased roll‑out.
Any safety, compliance, or exposure documentation, including references to ICNIRP guidelines, measurement reports, or manufacturer safety information.

This request is made in the context of substantial scientific evidence and international concern regarding RF exposure, particularly for children, including:

WHO/IARC’s Group 2B carcinogen classification for RF electromagnetic fields.
The 93/100 oxidative stress studies showing biological disruption at low‑intensity RF levels.
The 68.2% positive‑effect rate in over 2,200 EMF/RF studies.
Evidence of greater RF absorption and vulnerability in children.
The BioInitiative Report’s recommendation against wireless networks in schools.
Professor Martha Herbert’s warnings about learning, memory, immune, and metabolic impacts.
The limited and largely unreplicated long‑term research on WiFi 6E (6 GHz+).
Precautionary restrictions on WiFi in schools in France, Belgium, Israel, and Cyprus.

These documents are standard for new infrastructure and are essential for parents to understand what has been installed and how safety has been addressed.

Please provide the requested documentation within 5 working days.

[Your Name] Parent of [Child’s Name] [Your Contact Details]

4️⃣ Letter 4 — Safeguarding concern (full‑detail)

Subject: Formal Safeguarding Concern — New Wireless System (WiFi 6E)

Dear [Safeguarding Lead’s Name] and [Headteacher’s Name],

I am raising a formal safeguarding concern regarding the installation and activation of the new wireless system at [School Name], including any WiFi 6E equipment.

Parents have requested:

Information about what has been installed and when it will be activated.
The risk assessment relating to this new system.
Installation, commissioning, and safety documentation.

These have not been provided in full, and therefore parents cannot verify that appropriate safeguarding and health protections have been applied before exposing children to continuous RF emissions in classrooms.

This concern is grounded in a substantial body of scientific and policy evidence, including:

The World Health Organization’s IARC 2011 classification of RF electromagnetic fields as Group 2B (“possibly carcinogenic to humans”), based on increased brain tumour risks.
A review of 100 experimental studies on low‑intensity RF radiation, in which 93 studies reported oxidative stress effects (increased ROS, DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, and altered antioxidant systems).
An analysis of over 2,200 EMF/RF studies showing that 68.2% reported significant biological or health effects in humans, animals, and plants.
Evidence that children are more vulnerable to RF exposure due to thinner skulls, smaller bodies, higher water content, and longer lifetime exposure, with modelling showing higher RF absorption in children’s brains.
The BioInitiative Report (1,800+ studies), which concludes that biological effects occur at levels below current safety limits and recommends wired connections instead of wireless in schools.
Statements by Harvard paediatric neurologist Professor Martha Herbert that RF radiation from WiFi can have a disorganising effect on learning and memory and may destabilise immune and metabolic function, particularly in children.
Peer‑reviewed state‑of‑the‑science reviews indicating that long‑term biological research on frequencies above 6 GHz (WiFi 6E) is limited and largely unreplicated, especially for chronic exposure in children.
The fact that France, Belgium, Israel, and Cyprus have already taken precautionary measures to restrict or limit WiFi in nurseries and primary schools, or to favour wired alternatives.

In light of this, I request that you:

Log this as a safeguarding concern in the school’s safeguarding system.
Confirm that it has been recorded and provide the reference.
Provide the documentation demonstrating how the school has ensured pupil safety in relation to RF exposure from the new system.
Confirm the planned activation date(s) and what safety checks were completed beforehand.
Confirm whether wired alternatives have been considered as a safer option, in line with precautionary recommendations.

I expect same‑day acknowledgement of this safeguarding concern and a full response within 5 working days.

Yours sincerely,

[Your Name] Parent of [Child’s Name] [Your Contact Details]

⭐ PART 3 — WHAT HAPPENS IF THE SCHOOL ACTIVATES WITHOUT PROOF

If the school activates the system without:

A written risk assessment
Installation documentation
Commissioning documentation
Insurance confirmation
Safeguarding review

…then they are in multiple legal breaches.

Here is the breakdown.

1. Health and Safety breach

Operating new electrical or radiofrequency equipment without a risk assessment breaches:

Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999

This exposes the school to:

Civil liability
Criminal liability
Enforcement action

2. Safeguarding breach

Exposing children to a new environmental hazard without assessment breaches:

Keeping Children Safe in Education
Children Act 2004

This can trigger:

Local Authority safeguarding investigation
Ofsted safeguarding inspection
Department for Education intervention

3. Insurance breach

If the school activates without notifying insurers:

The school may be uninsured
The Headteacher and Governors may be personally liable

Most insurers exclude radiofrequency exposure unless declared.

4. Negligence

If harm occurs and no risk assessment exists:

The school is exposed to negligence claims
The Headteacher and Governors are exposed to personal liability

⭐ PART 4 — WHAT PARENTS CAN DO IF IGNORED OR IF THE SCHOOL ACTIVATES ANYWAY

Here is the clean escalation path.

STEP 1 — File a formal safeguarding escalation

To:

Local Authority Safeguarding Team
Department for Education Safeguarding Team
Governors
Multi‑Academy Trust

This forces an investigation.

STEP 2 — File a Freedom of Information request

Request:

The risk assessment
Installation documents
Commissioning report
Insurance disclosures

If they refuse:

You escalate to the Information Commissioner’s Office

STEP 3 — File a complaint with the Local Government Ombudsman

If the Local Authority fails to act.

STEP 4 — File a complaint with the Parliamentary Ombudsman

If the Department for Education fails to act.

STEP 5 — Send a Pre‑Action Protocol Letter for Judicial Review

This is the legal hammer.

Parents can challenge:

Failure to safeguard
Failure to assess risk
Failure to disclose information
Failure to follow statutory duties

Judicial Review forces the school to stop activation until the court rules.

STEP 6 — Civil action for negligence

If the school activated without:

A risk assessment
Insurance
Commissioning
Safeguarding review

Parents can pursue a negligence claim against:

The school
The Trust
The Governors
The Headteacher

⭐ PART 5 — WHERE PARENTS STAND

Parents have the legal right to:

Demand risk assessments
Demand installation documentation
Demand safeguarding evidence
Demand compliance
Demand transparency
Demand accountability
Demand that activation does not proceed without proof

If the school cannot prove safety, they cannot activate.

If they activate anyway, parents have multiple legal routes to stop them.
