👶💬 September is FASD Awareness Month

Let’s talk about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) – a condition that can affect babies if alcohol is consumed during pregnancy.

💡 Here’s what you need to know:
- There is no safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy
- Drinking alcohol while pregnant can cause lifelong brain and developmental problems in babies
- FASD is more common than you might think
- It can lead to difficulties with learning, memory, behaviour, and emotions
- Some people with FASD don’t get diagnosed, meaning they miss out on the support they need
- Getting help early can make a big difference

🚫 If you're pregnant, trying for a baby, or supporting someone who is – avoiding alcohol is the safest choice.

⚕️ High blood pressure, often called the “silent killer,” usually has no obvious symptoms — yet it is a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems.

📊 Regularly checking your blood pressure is one of the most important steps you can take for your long-term health. Small lifestyle changes such as improving your diet, increasing activity, and reducing salt can make a significant difference.

Emergency Alerts Test – Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm

What to know:
The UK Government will be running a test of the Emergency Alerts system at 3 pm on Sunday 7 September.

Phones and tablets that are compatible will emit a loud siren-like sound and vibrate, even if on silent.

You do not need to take any action during the alert — it's just a test.

This system is designed to warn you of local dangers like severe weather or other emergencies.

Important advice for those at risk of coercive control or domestic abuse: If you’re caring for someone who has a concealed phone or you're in a situation where unexpected alerts could cause harm, it’s vital to be aware and prepared.

Want to opt out?
You can turn off the Emergency Alerts for your device via this official page: gov.uk/alerts/opting-out

Need support or guidance? Leeds Women’s Aid offers tailored information and help on this:
leedswomensaid.co.uk/emergency-alert-test-sunday-7-september-2025

Why it's important:
Regular testing keeps the system reliable in real emergencies, when lives may depend on it.

Stay informed, stay safe.
