How schools aim to tackle Andrew Tate and ‘incel' culture
The framework aims to help boys find positive role models and counter sexist online content from 'manosphere' influencers, while also stressing the importance of not 'stigmatising boys for being boys'.
Secondary schools will be required to educate pupils on AI, deepfakes, and the links between pornography and misogyny, alongside lessons on 'incel' culture.
Unlike previous proposals, the new guidance scraps specific age limits for teaching certain topics but maintains the requirement for schools to provide parents with teaching materials.
The guidance, which also includes provisions for mental health support and suicide prevention, can be implemented by schools from September this year and becomes mandatory from September 2026.

NHS plan to achieve precision-matched blood transfusions
The NHS has launched a pioneering initiative to identify and secure blood donations from individuals with rare blood types, aiming to provide "precision-matched" transfusions. As part of this UK-first drive, scientists have DNA-tested the blood of 77,000 donors to date, with the goal of identifying hundreds more rare donors. Blood collected from these rare donors will be frozen to create a vital reserve, which will also be available to the donors themselves if they require a transfusion. This large-scale DNA testing helps to mitigate the risk of severe transfusion reactions, particularly for patients who regularly receive blood, such as those with sickle cell disorder and thalassaemia. NHS Blood and Transplant highlights the critical importance of precise blood matching due to the 362 known blood types, calling this project a significant step towards wider precision-matched blood use.

Major UK supermarket urgently recalls curry ready meals and warns ‘do NOT eat' over lethal health risk
AN urgent recall has been issued by a major supermarket as customers warned "do not eat". The recall affects a popular ready meal from Waitrose. It could pose an allergy risk as some packs have been misplaced and could contain undeclared allergens. The Waitrose Indian Takeaway for 2 was recalled because "some packs have been mispacked with spring rolls, which contain sesame and soya, which are not mentioned on the label" the FSA announcement said. This poses a health risk to anyone with sesame or soya allergies. Customers have been urged not to consume the product. Waitrose' recall notice instructs customers: "Do not consume. Package up item. Return the product to your local Waitrose and Partners Branch for a refund." It can be returned to your local Waitrose and Partners branch for a full refund. Customers can also contact Waitrose Customer Care on 0800 188 844, option 4, for more information. The signs of an allergic reaction and anaphylaxis + what to do SYMPTOMS of an allergy usually occur within minutes of contact with with the offending food or trigger, but they can also come on up to one hour later. Most allergic reactions are mild but they can also be moderate or severe. Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of allergic reaction which can be life threatening. In some cases, anaphylaxis symptoms lead to collapse and unconsciousness and, on rare occasions, can be fatal so it's important to know how to recognise them and act quickly. Mild to moderate symptoms include: Itchy mouth, tongue and throat Swelling of lips, around the eyes or face Red raised itchy rash (often called nettle rash, hives or urticaria) Vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhoea Runny nose and sneezing Severe symptoms of anaphylaxis include: Swelling of your throat and tongue Difficulty breathing or breathing very fast Difficulty swallowing, tightness in your throat or a hoarse voice Wheezing, coughing or noisy breathing Feeling tired or confused Feeling faint, dizzy or fainting Skin that feels cold to the touch Blue, grey or pale skin, lips or tongue – if you have brown or black skin, this may be easier to see on the palms of your hands or soles of your feet Anaphylaxis and its symptoms should be treated as a medical emergency. Follow these steps if you think you or someone you're with is having an anaphylactic reaction: Use an adrenaline auto-injector (such as an EpiPen) if you have one – instructions are included on the side of the injector. Call 999 for an ambulance and say that you think you're having an anaphylactic reaction. Lie down – you can raise your legs, and if you're struggling to breathe, raise your shoulders or sit up slowly (if you're pregnant, lie on your left side). If you have been stung by an insect, try to remove the sting if it's still in the skin. If your symptoms have not improved after 5 minutes, use a second adrenaline auto-injector. Do not stand or walk at any time, even if you feel better. Sources: Allergy UK, NHS 2
