The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), in partnership with the Met Office, has issued an Amber Heat-Health Alert for the West Midlands.
This means high temperatures are likely to have a significant impact on our Holiday Camp provision.
The alert is active from today until Friday 14 August at 9pm.
What does this mean for our Camps?
We are keeping a close eye on weather and Heat-Health Alert updates and reviewing our plans to make sure children and families stay safe in the heat.
Activities will still run unless we contact you with an update.
We are adjusting our Camps to support safety and wellbeing, for example:
π Moving activities indoors during the hottest points of the day
π Reducing physical activity
π Changing outdoor plans to shaded or cooler spaces
π Ensuring children stay hydrated throughout the day.
What can you do?
To help keep children safe and comfortable at Camp during the heat alert, please:
π Let the Coordinator know if your child is sensitive to heat or has any health conditions that could be affected
π Send your child with a refillable water bottle so they can stay hydrated throughout the session
π Apply sun cream before the session and send extra if your child may need it topped up
π Send your child with a sun hat
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via email: [email protected]
