Hot weather health training
On this page
As our borough experiences warmer summers, taking simple, practical steps can help protect our people, communities and local places.
We have partnered with Shade the UK to create training videos to support people who work or volunteer in community‑facing organisations to protect their own and others’ health during hot weather.
Who it's for
This training is for anyone who is in a community-facing role or who may want to increase their knowledge of hot weather and health.
What you'll learn
Hot weather can affect people’s health in different ways, particularly those who are more vulnerable. Being informed and prepared can make a real difference.
This training will help you to:
- Understand the main impacts of heat on our health
- Look after yourself during hot weather
- Identify and support vulnerable people during hot weather
- Prepare for and respond to hot weather to avoid negative health impacts
- Learn about Cool Spaces and create heat safe spaces
