Supporting primary schools to embed effective sun safety education and practice.
An introduction to the free Sun Safe Schools accreditation programme delivered by national skin cancer charity Skcin. The session will explore how schools can promote sun safety through curriculum teaching, policies and whole-school approaches using free ready-made resources.

The session will also highlight the growing importance of skin cancer prevention and how schools can play a key role in promoting lifelong healthy behaviours.
