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.

Introduction

Islington Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children in need and children in care. We value all feedback and recognise that complaints, compliments, and comments are vital for improving our services.

This policy sets out how we handle statutory complaints about children’s social care in line with the Children Act 1989 Representations Procedure (England) Regulations 2006 and national guidance.

The policy should be read in conjunction with Islington Council’s complaints policy, which sets out our general approach to complaints, including our expectation of complainants.
