Pumpkin carving is a great Halloween tradition. But if your child isn’t old enough to handle a sharp knife safely you can use pens, stickers, paint or glitter to decorate your pumpkin without making a scratch.

Just search for “no-carve pumpkin ideas” and you’ll find lots of creative ways to transform yours.
We’d love to see your pumpkin creations. Please share them with us.

All drugs carry risk. We strongly advise you not to take any drug which has not been prescribed to you. However, if you do choose to use drugs, you can help to reduce the risk of harm by:

1. Dosing low and going slow – take the smallest amount you can and leave as long as you can between doses, at least 2 hours.
2. Sticking to one drug – mixing drugs can cause unexpected and unpredictable results. This includes mixing with alcohol.
3. Never using alone – make sure that there are people around who can respond in the event of an emergency.
If someone becomes ill, get medical help urgently!

Perimenopause is one of the three stages of menopause. It’s when menopause symptoms start but your periods haven’t stopped.

For many women, these symptoms can affect daily life – from energy and mood to relationships and work.

They can also start earlier for some, which is why recognising the signs and getting support matters.

Menopause will now be part of routine NHS health checks – offered every 5 years to eligible adults aged 40 to 74 – for the first time. By including tailored questions about menopause, more women will be able to get the support they need to manage their symptoms.

Children mirror what they feel, not just what they hear. If we meet chaos with calm, they learn safety; if we meet stress with shame, they learn fear.

Our regulation is the lesson beneath every moment.
