Be UV Aware

It’s important to be UV aware in order to stay safe in the sun.

The Solar UV Index shows how much solar radiation is reaching us from the sun and how careful we need to be.

To help people become familiar with the UV index and be UV aware, we have produced a number of short animations below highlighting the care in the sun messages and sun safe behaviours.
