Warning of Extreme Heat Conditions expected Sunday 17th to Tuesday 19th

"Beat the heat: staying safe in hot weather" guidance is for individual providers to undertake a full risk assessment when making decisions on whether to remain open or to close the setting in the event of extremes of weather. Providers should refer to government guidance and weather forecast updates over the coming days.

 'Looking after children and those in early years settings during heatwaves' provides guidance on protecting children both indoors and outdoors, as well as information on how to spot and treat heat-related illnesses such as heat stress, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
