Sun safety guidelines

In the UK, the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays are the strongest between 11am and 3pm from mid-March to mid-October. During this time, the sun may be strong enough to cause damage. Take extra care to protect your skin, especially if you get sunburnt easily by:

1. Spending time in the shade, especially between 11am and 3pm in the UK.

2. Covering up with clothes, a wide-brimmed hat and UV protection sunglasses.

3. And using a sunscreen with at least SPF15 and 4 or 5 stars. Use it generously, reapply regularly and use together with shade and clothing.

Find out who is most at risk of sunburn, and what you can do to protect yourself
Shade

Covering up with clothing, hats and sunglasses

Clothing should cover your shoulders and have long sleeves. The more skin that's covered by your clothing, the better the protection.

Sunscreen

No sunscreen, no matter how high the factor, can provide 100% protection. shouldn't be used to extend your time in the sun, and it doesn't make tanning safe. In fact, you could be more likely to get sun burn and skin damage if you use sunscreen to sunbathe.

Tips for using sunscreen properly

Does the brand of sunscreen make a difference?

Sun safety is important at all ages. Protect children's skin using a combination of shade, clothing and sunscreen.

Encourage them to spend time in the shade particularly between 11am-3pm when the sun is strongest, you can read more about this in the above section.

Covering skin with clothing helps to reduce UV rays reaching the skin, perhaps wearing a t-shirt in the paddling pool or a hat when at the park. Remember sunglasses and hats are a great way to protect the eyes and face, too.

Sunscreen doesn't protect us completely from sun damage on its own. However, it can be useful for taking care of the parts of skin we can't shade or cover. Apply it regularly and use a sunscreen with a minimum SPF 15 and a 4 or 5 star rating.

Feeling lonely

Loneliness has no common cause. Sometimes it can be triggered by a life event or change in situation, or it may not be triggered by anything at all.

We all experience feeling lonely in different ways. This means there are a range of ways we can try to overcome loneliness, and we need to identify the help and support that works for us. It's really important to remember that loneliness and difficult feelings can pass.

While loneliness is a feeling we can all relate to, sometimes admitting we feel lonely is much harder. We want people to talk more openly about feeling lonely and the impact that loneliness can have.

Sometimes it can feel easier to reach out to someone else who may be feeling lonely. There are plenty of simple actions you can take to help lift someone out of loneliness and in doing so, it might help you to feel less lonely too.

If you think you might have a gambling problem, help is available.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Problem gambling is defined as gambling that is disruptive or damaging to you or your family, or interferes with your daily life. Most people in the UK gambled or played the lottery in the last year- activities like playing the lottery once or twice a week aren't harmful. However, for around 9 in 1000 people, gambling becomes a problem or an addiction.

Signs of problem gambling

If you think you might have a gambling problem, help is available.

To start, answer these 10 questions with 'yes' or 'no':

Do you spend a lot of time thinking about gambling?

Are you spending more money on gambling as time goes on?

Have you ever tried to stop gambling, or cut down on or control your gambling, and not been able to?

Do you get restless or irritable if you try to cut down on gambling?

Do you gamble to escape from difficulties in your life, or to cheer yourself up?

Do you keep playing after losing money to try to win it back - often called 'chasing losses'?

Have you lied to other people about how much time or money you've spent gambling, or how much you've lost?

Have you ever stolen money to fund gambling?

Has gambling affected your job, relationships, or home life?

Do you ask other people to lend you money when you've lost money through gambling?

If you've answered yes:

To 1 question - you might have a problem, and it would be a good idea to seek help.

To 3 questions - gambling probably feels like it's a problem, and you should seek help.

To 5 or more questions - it's likely gambling feels like it's affecting every part of your life. You should get help as soon as possible.

Effects of problem gambling

While problem gambling itself doesn't have physical symptoms, the negative effects can appear in many areas of life. These include:

reduced quality of life - having less money or free time

problems with your social life - avoiding seeing friends or going out

physical illnesses caused by spending more time gambling and less time being active, as well as potentially drinking more alcohol

financial problems - running up debts, and not having enough money for essentials

relationship problems and conflict at home - this can include arguments with family and friends, or conflict with your partner about financial difficulties

criminal activity - problem gambling doesn't make you a criminal, but some people find themselves committing crimes to fund their gambling habit

unemployment or difficulties at work - if you gamble at work, or miss work due to gambling, it can lead to issues at work and potentially unemployment

Even if you haven't experienced any of these issues yet, if your gambling is becoming a problem it's possible these negative effects will happen in the future. It's important to be mindful of the impact gambling could have on you or your family.

How problem gambling happens

Some people seem to be more likely to develop a gambling problem than others.

Men tend to be more vulnerable to developing a gambling problem than women, likely because women usually gamble less than men.

While a gambling problem can start at any age, people who start as teenagers or young adults can grow into problem gamblers. Children as young as 7 can struggle to control how much time they spend playing video and mobile games, many of which ask for micro-transactions and payments. Older people who feel isolated or bored can also be attracted to gambling.

People who work in casinos, betting shops or arcades can be more likely to develop a gambling habit.

Certain types of gambling can be more likely to lead to a problem than others:

mobile or internet gambling - like betting or bingo websites and apps

video poker

roulette

dice games

the stock market

playing sports for money

Engaging in these activities doesn't mean you have a problem with gambling, but it's important to be aware that these types of gambling are particularly addictive.

Things that could make problem gambling more likely

There are some factors that can make a person more vulnerable to developing a gambling problem. These include:

having a mental health condition

having an alcohol or drug problem

being in prison

having a family member, particularly a parent, with a gambling addiction

a gambling habit that started early - some people start gambling as young as 7 or 8

having trouble controlling your gambling from the first time you did it, even if you don't actually gamble very often

This doesn't mean that everyone in these circumstances will develop a problem, but it's important to be aware of the risk if gambling is something you do.

Self-help for problem gambling

If you feel your gambling has become a problem, there are steps you can take right away to start improving your situation.

1. Limit how much money you can spend gambling

Pay all your essential bills, like rent/mortgage, utilities, council tax, food, and childcare costs, as soon as you get paid.

Set yourself a weekly limit on how much you're willing to spend on gambling, and be sure to stick to it.

If you go out to gamble, leave your debit and credit cards at home and only take cash, so you can't spend more than planned.

On gambling websites and apps, set a limit on your account so you can't overspend.

Talk to your bank about blocking certain websites or locations, like betting websites or casinos.

UseGAMSTOPto block yourself from accessing online gambling sites and gambling apps. GAMSTOP doesn't cover every site or app operating in the UK, but you can contact ones you use that aren't signed up to this scheme and ask them to block you.

2. Reduce the time you spend gambling

Set a limit on how often you gamble in a week. Be specific and name the days - for example: "I will only gamble on Tuesdays and Fridays."

Resist the temptation to open up gambling sites or apps for a 'quick go' or just to make one bet - it's likely that you'll find it hard to stick to just one.

Set alarms or alerts on your phone, watch, or computer to remind you when it's time to close the site or app and stop gambling for the day.

3. Don't think of gambling as a way to make money

Remind yourself frequently that gambling isn't a way to make money - you're paying for entertainment. It's not an investment, and you're not earning money by gambling.

When you gamble, always prepare yourself to lose. Remind yourself that winning is by chance, and not something that happens more often than losing.

Never spend money from savings or investments on gambling.

Tell your friends and family not to lend you money if you ask.

4. Fill up your time with other things

Spend more time with friends and family.

Spend less time with people you know who gamble, or people you usually gamble with.

Join clubs or social groups that don't involve gambling - this could be a good time to take up a new hobby, or restart one you haven't done for a while.

Talk to friends and family about your situation and your concerns, rather than 'bottling up' your feelings.

For more self-help advice and tools, you can access resources on the GamCare website.

In 2019, Chris suffered a mental health crisis brought on by severe stress, which developed at rapid speed and had catastrophic consequences.

In partnership with Chris's family and friends, this Stress Awareness Month, 2021 Mates in Mind will be sharing Chris's story to raise awareness and understanding of the very real impact that workplace stress can have on our lives and the importance of recognising the signs that someone might be struggling.

You can read more about Chris and his story through his wife Michelle's article detailing her story.

Remember, if you are struggling, you are not alone. There is always someone available to help you. If you or someone you know needs support, our friends at Samaritans are available 24/7 on 116 123, or you can speak to one of the many free, confidential support services.

Farms can be dangerous. Farmers come into contact with different hazards every day. The safety of everyone on a farm (employer, employee or family member) should be a priority.

Being aware of new and existing hazards, carrying out risk assessments and always following the Safe Stop procedure are just a few ways to work towards a safer workplace and remember that if proper supervision is not possible, the best way to keep children safe on a farm is to keep them away.
