Today marks the start of National Adult Support and Protection Week 2026, with ASP Day coming up this Friday 20th February.

It’s an annual reminder that protecting adults at risk is everyone’s business. Vulnerable adults can be subjected to physical, financial, sexual and psychological abuse as well as other types of harm including neglect, self-harm and self-neglect when people struggle to look after themselves.

If you live in Perth and Kinross, and have concerns for yourself or someone you know, please contact our Access Team on 0345 301 1120 or email AccessTeam@pkc.gov.uk, or report it to NHS Tayside or Police Scotland.

Raising a teen can be a challenge. It’s not unusual for teens to feel anxious, to have mood swings and to feel isolated.

Sometimes they don’t even know why they’re feeling or acting the way they do, which makes it all the harder to understand what they’re going through. But there are things you can do to help 💜

❄️ Stay safe outdoors in winter ❄️

🔹 Wrap up well - It's the season for cosy layers! Wear gloves and a hat as well as layers to protect yourself from the cold.

🔹 Take it slow and steady – Be aware that some pavements and roads may be icy.

🔹 Watch your step - Wear shoes with good grip to navigate slippery paths and avoid falls.

🔹 Stay off ice on frozen waterways – Its thickness can be deceptive, and the water can be extremely cold and deep. Make sure children are aware of the potential dangers.
