Nottingham Attacks anniversary

Marking the first anniversary of the Nottingham attacks

Nottingham City Council buildings fell silent earlier today (Thursday) to remember the three victims of the Nottingham attacks on 13 June last year.

Staff paused for a two-minute silence at 1pm in memory of school caretaker Ian Coates, and University of Nottingham students Barnaby Webber and Grace O’Malley-Kumar.

Carer's week

Recognising the invaluable work of carers this Carers Week

This week is National Carers Week, with the theme this year of 'putting carers on the map'. 

We want to highlight the invaluable work of carers in supporting citizens and make sure they are aware of and have access to the right support.

If you provide unpaid care or support to someone such as a partner, family member or friend, who would struggle to cope without your support due to being elderly or frail, illness, disability, a mental health problem or addiction, you may be a carer.

If you are a carer and want to find out what help and advice is available, contact our Carer’s Hub: [link removed] [ [link removed] ]

Drowning Prevention Week

Nottingham Swim School backs National Drowning Prevention Week campaign

Nottingham Swim School, part of Nottingham City Council, is urging parents to make sure their children know how to stay safe and enjoy the water this summer. 

Whether heading abroad this summer or opting for a staycation, the Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK), fears that families will head to beaches and inland water locations this summer, without considering the potential dangers, putting themselves and others at risk. Those of us who will be venturing abroad for their summer holiday, may find themselves using non-lifeguarded pools and therefore be at risk if they do not have the necessary water safety skills.

*Nottingham Swim School Officer, Claire Sullivan said: *“We are proud to play our part in ensuring our families have a safe summer. We recognise how vital it is for children to know how to stay safe near water and urge our parents to access RLSS UK’s free water safety resources on the Charity’s website, which includes fantastic theme week lesson plans to allow schools to incorporate the resources into our existing lessons. We want our pupils to enjoy all the fun and benefits of being in and around water but be educated on how to do that safely.”

Visit www.rlss.org.uk/DPW [ [link removed] ] to access the Charity’s free water safety resources and pop along to your local Active Nottingham swimming pool [ [link removed] ] to join the Nottingham Swim School learn to swim programme.
