Play areas across North Lanarkshire are becoming more inclusive thanks to the installation of new non-verbal communication boards designed to help children and families connect and play together.

Developed in partnership with families, teachers and specialists, the boards use simple images, symbols and text to support children and young people who are non-verbal or have limited speech, helping to break down barriers to communication and create more welcoming play spaces for all.

Jumping into open water to swim or cool down can lead to cold water shock, which can lead to drowning.

Even on a hot day the water can be very cold. Jumping into open water to swim or cool down can lead to cold water shock, which can lead to drowning. Enter the water by walking in so you can easily and safely get back out and this also allows your body to acclimatise to the water.
