Measles is on the increase, with a rapid rise in the number of cases seen in parts of England, and a confirmed case in Scotland. It is a serious illness, but the MMR vaccine is proven to safely offer high levels of protection. It is given in two doses; if you are not sure if your child has had both doses, you can contact your GP practice to confirm.

If your child has never had the MMR – or hasn’t had the complete course – you can contact our vaccination teams to arrange.

Childhood vaccinations offer protection against many serious illnesses, and you are encouraged to ensure your child is up to date with all of them.

Aberdeen City Council would like your feedback on the proposed school holiday pattern for 2025-2030.  The consultation is open now and will close on Friday 5 January 2024.

 

Please complete the survey at the following link:

 

School Holiday Public Consultation – Aberdeen City Council – Citizen Space

At any given time up to 40% of adults and 50% of children (this rises to 80% with a SEND diagnosis) have difficulties with their sleep.  Yet in a recent survey, almost 60% of adults felt there was a lack of support for sleep issues.  Sleep problems can leave people feeling isolated and lonely.

Our free helpline is run by trained sleep advisors, many of whom are specialists in working with SEND.  We can talk to young people directly, or parents (we can also talk to adults, including older people, about their sleep issues).

The helpline is open 5 times a week, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday evenings 7-9pm, and Monday, Wednesday mornings 9-11am.

The number is 03303 530 541.
