programme
Council calls on schools to raise awareness of the dangers of overexposure to
UV light in our children, the dangers of not wearing sunscreen, and
encourages schools to sign up for the free Sun Safe accreditation
programme.
Overexposure to UV is a serious health risk and the primary cause of skin
cancer, there are on average 16,700 cases in the UK every year.
Sun Safe provide free resources for schools and nurseries to help educate
children about the hazards of not wearing sunscreen and provide a free
accreditation programme.
Council recognises that this month has seen a period of extreme hot weather
and that it’s more important than ever for children to recognise the potential
dangers posed by the sunlight, and that schools and nurseries taking part in
the sunlife campaign would benefit from it.
Council further recognises that overexposure to UV light is a danger for
individuals of all ages and endeavours to raise awareness of these dangers
through its media channels.
