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.

Cheryl with short hair and big grin

As an Islington Council social worker, you will be a core member of a multi-disciplinary team that is dedicated to enabling independence. You will work closely with colleagues and external partners to provide a relationship-based and person-centered approach.

The goal is to enable adult residents to continue living life in the way they wish. We aim to solve problems at the first point of contact, and where possible offering short term interventions to prevent the need for long-term support.
