The Cyber Girls First event, held yesterday, is an exciting event consisting of a day of workshops on technology and cybersecurity for girls aged 12-14. The event is organised by Accenture and had guest speakers from Create Future, J.P. Morgan and Enigma Interactive.

The day consisted of a series of fun, engaging sessions based around code breaking, code making and creativity. The sessions were delivered by female tech experts in the industry. Year 9 students Kayleigh and Penny both came second in a code breaking activity and won bluetooth speakers. Well done to everyone who took part!

Sports betting has become increasingly visible online, appearing across apps, websites, social media, sports coverage and gaming spaces.

Even when young people are not legally old enough to gamble, they may still encounter betting messages through adverts, influencers, tipsters, friends or adult accounts.

Our latest guide highlights key risks, including:
• Easy online access
• Gambling becoming normalised around sport
• Peer and influencer pressure
• Free bet offers
• Impulsive spending and chasing losses

It also offers practical advice for parents, carers and educators on starting calm conversations, setting safer digital boundaries, spotting warning signs and finding support.

A severe allergic reaction can develop quickly, so knowing what to do in an emergency is essential.

This week’s guide gives parents, carers and educators a clear overview of adrenaline devices, including EpiPen, Jext and nasal adrenaline.

The guide covers:
• Symptoms affecting the airway, breathing and circulation
• How different adrenaline devices are used
• Why the patient should lie down and remain still
• The importance of calling 999
• Why two devices should always be carried

It also reinforces a vital message: using adrenaline promptly is always better than waiting.
