Staying Safe In The Sun

Staying Safe In The Sun
Protecting children outdoors

During periods of high temperature, the following steps should be taken: 

  • children should not take part in vigorous physical activity on very hot days, such as when temperatures are in excess of 30°C 
  • encourage children playing outdoors to stay in the shade as much as possible 
  • children should wear loose, light-coloured clothing to help keep cool and sunhats with wide brims to avoid sunburn 
  • use sunscreen of Factor 50+ to protect skin if children are playing or taking lessons outdoors for more than 20 minutes regardless of ethnicity - if your child has a sensitivity to Nivea, then please provide your own brand ensuring it is Factor 50+.
  • provide children with plenty of water (such as water from a cold tap) and encourage them to drink more than usual when conditions are hot.
        

Protecting children indoors

During periods of high temperature, the following steps should be taken: 

  • open windows as early as possible in the morning before children arrive, or preferably overnight to allow stored heat to escape from the building – it is important to check insurance conditions and the need for security if windows are to be left open overnight 
  • almost close windows when the outdoor air becomes warmer than the air indoors – this should help keep the heat out while allowing adequate ventilation 
  • keep the use of electric lighting to a minimum 
  • switch off all electrical equipment, including computers, monitors and printers when not in use – equipment should not be left in ‘standby mode’ as this generates heat
