Did you get the alert? πŸš¨πŸ“±
The UK Government has just issued a severe alert warning of a very high risk of wildfires nationally.
It means conditions are exceptionally dry and hot right now, so even the smallest spark could instantly spiral into a major wildfire, putting local wildlife, habitats, homes, and emergency responders at serious risk.

Learn how to protect your eyes whilst watching the partial solar eclipse!

We probably shouldn’t have to say this, but don’t look directly at the sun. Looking directly at the sun without the right protection can cause permanent damage to your eyesight – so you need to take care. Remember, your normal sunglasses may look great, but they won't cut it.

πŸ”΄ Heat-Health Alert Escalated to Red

A Red Heat-Health Alert indicates a risk to life, even for healthy people, and can also affect transport, water supplies and other essential services.

Please remember to:

πŸ’§ Drink plenty of fluids
🏠 Keep your home as cool as possible
β˜€οΈ Avoid the hottest part of the day where you can
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ Check in on older relatives, neighbours and anyone who may need extra support

The HPV vaccine is saving lives.

New research by Queen Mary University of London and Cancer Research UK shows deaths have fallen sharply since school-age girls began being offered it in 2008, and around 200 lives have been saved in England so far thanks to the vaccine.

The vaccine protects against high-risk HPV, a virus that can lead to cervical cancer and some other cancers.

Both girls and boys can get protection from high-risk HPV by having the HPV vaccination in their teenage years. It not only protects against cervical cancer, but other types of cancer too.

You can help protect your child by giving consent for them to have their vaccination when invited.

And remember: cervical screening is still important, even if you’ve had the HPV vaccine.
