Safe and well summer guide

Helping our children and young people to stay safe and healthy is a priority for Warwickshire and our schools. To support families over the summer months the council has developed a booklet which will be printed and delivered to all primary, junior and infant schools.  

The booklet includes a range of information from staying safe in the sun, to ideas on how to stay active during the summer holidays as well as support available for families through the Family Information Service. The information supports children, their parents and carers and also provides advice on how to help more vulnerable loved ones. 

You can view a digital copy of the booklet here. You may wish to include a link to it on your website or in your newsletter. 

As a trusted voice in our local communities, we would appreciate your support to help share these booklets with your pupils so they can take them home.  

You will receive 250 copies of the booklet, if you wish to receive more then please email newsteam@warwickshire.gov.uk with your request. 

An article has been included below for your newsletter to let families know about the booklet so they can expect to receive it or find it online.

Safe and well summer guide 

As schools close over the summer, families may be looking for things to do to keep children occupied, healthy and safe.  

Warwickshire County Council has created a Safe and well summer guide for children and their families. It includes advice about sun and water safety, ideas for things to do to stay active, support and guidance from the Family Information Service and some help to be ready to go back to school in September. 

Hard copies may be available through school, at libraries and Children and Family Centres, or you can view the digital version along with lots of other helpful information for families at www.warwickshire.gov.uk/wellness.
