Mini eggs of all colours and brands are lining the supermarket shelves. But, did you know that they are the perfect size to block a small child’s airway and choke them? And, their hard shell can make it difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques.

That’s why they carry a safety warning that they aren’t recommended for children under 4.

So, when you’re stocking up for the Easter Bunny please stay safe and choose another treat for your little one.

It’s HPV awareness day❗

HPV is a very common virus, about 8 out of 10 people catch it at some time in their lives.

The HPV vaccine helps to prevent HPV-related cancers from developing in young people.

If you have been eligible for the vaccine but have not received it in school, you can still receive it free of charge until the age of 25. To find out more contact your GP.

If your plug feels warm, it’s not “fine.”
It’s overheating.

One socket isn’t designed to power half the room.

Avoid:
• Stacking multiple adaptors
• Running high-powered appliances on one extension
• Leaving decorative lights on overnight

And before you go to bed, switch it off at the socket.

Today is Self-Harm Awareness Day

Self-harm is any non-accidental behaviour that causes, or has the potential to cause, harm to oneself — and it’s often a sign that someone is struggling and needs support.

You’re not alone. Help is available and reaching out is a strength.

Every year, more than 727 000 lives are lost to su***de.
Behind each number is a story cut short.

We aimed for a 33% reduction in deaths by 2030, but progress is just 12%.

This is a crisis. We must act with urgency, compassion & investment in su***de prevention.

It’s that time of year again when mini eggs are lining the supermarket shelves. But, did you know that, just like grapes, they are the perfect size to block a small child’s airway and choke them? And, their hard shell can make it difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques.

With whole grapes we advise cutting them in half lengthways and ideally into quarters to create thin strips. But chopping up mini eggs isn’t as easy. So, what can you do?

1. Hide them from the children and eat them yourself – good luck with that!

2. Break them into small pieces with a rolling pin. Or, crush them in a pestle and mortar. Or melt them a little first.

3. Opt for a different treat. Larger, hollow eggs are much safer for little ones.
