Would you know what to do if someone was having an asthma attack?

Asthma attacks can be life-threatening, so acting quickly is important:

✅ Sit upright and try to remain calm
✅ Use a reliever inhaler if available
✅ For a blue inhaler, take one puff every 30 to 60 seconds, up to 10 puffs
✅ For an AIR or MART inhaler, take one puff every one to three minutes, up to six puffs
✅ Follow the person’s asthma action plan if it gives different instructions

Call 999 if symptoms worsen, the maximum dose does not help or no inhaler is available.

Returning to school after a break can be a significant adjustment for children and young people, particularly when routines, concentration and social confidence need time to rebuild.

The guide explores:
• Restoring sleep and morning routines gradually
• Creating predictability through clear expectations
• Preparing school essentials in advance
• Encouraging responsibility in age-appropriate ways
• Supporting healthy nutrition, wellbeing and self-regulation
• Reconnecting with learning, friendships and familiar routines

With expert insight from Adam Gillett, Associate Vice Principal for Personal Development at Pen*stone Grammar School, this resource offers supportive ideas to help children return to school feeling more confident and prepared.

The new school year is the perfect opportunity to focus on road safety and make sure your children know how to cross the road safely.

At school drop-off and pick-up times, roads can be especially busy. Not only does this make crossing more difficult it can also be really distracting and children may not remember their road safety rules, especially if they’re excited or spot a friend across the road.

Fortunately, there are plenty of things you can do to help keep them safe. Visit our road safety hub for tips and free activity sheets for children: https://capt.org.uk/csw-road-safety/
