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 until Friday.  

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 on Thursday and Friday 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.

Child chaperone licence renewal

You have to renew your child chaperone licence every 12 months.

To renew an existing licence you must complete the Chaperone Renewal Declaration (available from ‘Useful documents’ below). You also need to provide evidence of your DBS certificate and any refresher training undertaken.

Send the completed declaration form and supporting documents to pupilservices@islington.gov.uk or post them to Pupil Services, 222 Upper Street, London N1 1XR.

There is no charge for renewing this licence. 

If you have recently moved to Islington and were a licensed chaperone in another borough, you need to apply for a new licence. We may also need to interview you.

Next steps

Once we have received your declaration form and have evidence of your DBS check and safeguarding refresher training, we will issue a new 12-month licence.

You will need to renew your licence again the following year.
