Be Winter Ready Winter readiness is a challenge for individuals and communities across Ireland each year, and calls for cooperation and collaboration between many different groups. Although the response to challenging weather events is coordinated by the Office of Emergency Planning (OEP), communities have an important role to play in emergencies. Central to this is neighbours knowing each other and working together. Being prepared, knowing your neighbours and working together will help to ensure that you and your community are winter ready in the months ahead. Being Prepared
Check On Your Older Relatives And Neighbours If it’s difficult for you to get around it will be impossible for them

We need You this World Children’s Day! World Children’s Day takes place on the 20th of November 2019. This is a day to celebrate childhood and the rights of all children. The theme for this years’ celebration is ‘Being Your Best Self’. We appreciate how much you and your CYPSC partners contribute to the local community and if you like to get involved in World Children’s Day:
Why the 20th of November? November 20th 1959 is when the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. It is also the date in 1989 when the UN General assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. This is a day that is all about the importance of children and how they have special rights and freedoms that help them to grow into happy, healthy adults. There was so much momentum built last year, and thankfully there is so much to celebrate again this year on the 30th year of the convention of the rights of the child. The Ombudsman for Children’s Office is running the Child Talks event again after such a massive success last year. In 2018 over 20,000 people watched the event live on Facebook with approximately 50,000 watching on RTE. Here is a link to last years’ highlights video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YOBtiTMrIw If you would like to share information or photographs of your event please send them to: senior communications officer ronan.mcdonnell@tusla.ie If you require any further information contact michelle.sheehan1@tusla.ie Updates on events can also be seen on the Children’s Day Facebook page, and social media: #WorldChildrensDay #ChildTalks2019
