Stay safe in very hot weather

Very hot weather is expected for the next few days. A red heat-health alert (the highest level) is in place for London on Wednesday and Thursday.  

Hot weather can be dangerous and can cause serious illness. Stay safe and look out for others who may be particularly vulnerable to the heat. Read advice on GOV.UK

Cool spaces

There are local cool spaces that are free and open to everyone. Visit them to rest, drink water and stay cool. Find a cool space near you

Access Islington hubs 

North and South Access Islington hubs are closed due to the hot weather. The Central Hub is open for urgent, in-person support, until 4pm today (Wednesday 24 June) but avoid travelling unless it is essential. 

You can still access our services online and you can call us on 020 7527 2000 if you need to speak to someone.

Locating friends and relatives

We sometimes receive enquiries from the public who want to locate friends or family who they believe may be living in Islington.

The Data Protection Act 1998 does not allow us to confirm or deny the whereabouts of people to other members of the public without the consent of the person being sought. However, we may be able to pass on a message if we have their contact details on our systems. 

There are other ways that the public can try and trace people. Here are some examples:

Finding missing people

  • Metropolitan Police - telephone: 101
  • Missing People - works with young runaways and missing and unidentified people. Telephone 116 000 (freefone)
  • British Red Cross - relatives separated by wars or disasters. Telephone: 0844 871 11 11
  • Reunite - specialising in abduction and international custody disputes. Telephone: 0116 2555 345
  • Salvation Army - tracing adult relatives in the UK and overseas. Telephone: 0845 634 4747

 Tracing family history

  • GOV.UK - order birth, marriage and death certificates.
