The winner of the 2012 Absence Protection Christmas Card Competition is Fay Wright from Walsden St Peters' School in Lancashire. Her entry has been sent to over 1000 clients and friends. She also won £200 for her school.

The Xmas card runner up Hempstead Infant School have been awarded a £20 Amazon Voucher for their schools' entries

The competition was open for entries to all of the Absence Protection Client Schools. It had been publicised in the Winter edition of "COVERED – the magazine for our community of schools", a termly publication that is distributed electronically to all clients and is always available on the Absence Protection Website.

Absence Protection would like to extend their thanks to the staff and pupils of all the schools who entered the competition. As the many recipients of Fay's card are sure to agree, the competition was a great success. Absence Protection will continue to run the competition and we look forward to seeing your entries for the chance to design the December 2013 card.
