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.

Covering your tracks

Every time you use the internet your browser saves pieces of information such as images, search terms or words used in search engines and login names. This helps the pages you visit frequently to load faster, by loading the files from your hard disk drive instead of downloading the web page in full again. These pieces of information are saved as "cookies" and they can mark a trail, or "history", that reveals what you've been looking at online. You can take steps to minimise the chance of someone finding which websites you've visited. The Women's Aid website has detailed instructions on how to do this.

Please note: there is a risk involved in removing data from your computer. Removing cookies may clear saved passwords for membership sites such as online banking, which may alert others using the computer to the fact you've removed information. Also, they may notice if the address history on the computer has been cleared, raising suspicion. Again,it's usually safest to access online services from somewhere other than your home internet.
