027; 8 December 1979.
[Warded to Individuals involved with First Impressions]

My wife has been kind enough to outline Miss Vance's suggestion that this group assist those young people whose lives have been changed in the recent werewolf attacks. I know that this is hardly a topic that we would wish to dwell on. After all, we have seen the ill that can be caused by werewolves during the full moon, and it is not a pleasant thing at all.

Most of you know that I have a vested interest in this project, and the more that I have considered Miss Vance's proposition, the more important I feel it is that our group take a stand towards something that might well benefit all of our society. As a parent myself - and I know that many of us are parents - I cannot begin to imagine how difficult it must be. And while I doubt that any of these parents are considering their child's education at the moment - more interested in seeing them safely healed and through next month - as time goes by they will be, and we must do what we can to assist them in ensuring that their child grows up understanding the wizarding world, and their role in creating a productive and safe society.

We must consider children with special circumstances as we look to matters such as enrolment and I urge those of you in charge of these policies to think inclusively - after all, that is one of the purposes of this school, to bring together children of Magical birth and prepare them for their Magical education at Hogwarts. In the immediate moment, I will be taking the time to visit the parents and children involved, to best determine what their needs are at this moment in time and hopefully to assist them in making the connections that will be most beneficial for them in these early stages. I encourage each of you to do similarly as your time and situation allows.

On a non-related note, has it been determined who will be looking at the curriculum for the school? I should enjoy being involved in the conversations on that matter.

I hope that is vaguely supportive enough to be satisfactory. There are any number of more liberal individuals sitting upon the committee whose interest I do not wish to discourage at this point in time. As far as 'inclusion' goes - when was the last time you saw a werewolf at Hogwarts? It will never receive Ministry approval.

I looked at buying you a city for Christmas, but I'm afraid they were all sold out - will something a bit smaller suffice?
