In the production of our Tide Collection magazines 16m2 of native woodland is created every month. The Carbon Capture Scheme helps us mitigate our carbon emissions by planting trees right here in the UK. We’ve helped fund the planting of 250,000 already! Each tree planted will grow into a vital carbon store, helping us reduce our environmental impact. The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. Working with Woodland trust helps us to protect the precious wildlife habitat that remains and plant the trees needed to create new homes for creatures big and small.

It is precisely these kinds of weather conditions that tend to give rise at this time of year to more people slipping, tripping or falling when out and about, often in a public place or even in the workplace. These types of accident also, unfortunately, often result in people sustaining more serious injuries, such as broken bones and spinal and head injuries, that, in the worst cases, can prove fatal. However, bringing a claim for personal injury as a result of a slip, trip or fall can be tricky. Pinpointing the correct person to bring a claim against can be difficult, if, for example, there are a number of poten- tial owners of the accident site. Gathering the evidence needed to prove such a claim against whoever is responsible can then some- times seem to be a mammoth task. Depending upon where you fall - on publicly or privately owned land - also makes a difference to the chances of successfully bringing a claim for compensation for personal injury and loss because the courts apply different tests to determine whether responsibility can be attached. For example, while you may not be able to claim compensation if you tripped or slipped on a public highway or pavement, if the same accident occurred on privately owned land, you may be more suc- cessful. So, what should you do, if you have an accident as a result of a slip, warning signs), if possible, get pictures of them and record the trip or fall either out and about or at work? dates on which the remedial steps were taken. • If available, get witness evidence from anyone who saw the • Seek medical attention / get help. accident or who can provide information as to how long the • Report the accident to whoever is responsible for the site of the defect that caused you to fall was present before the incident accident, whether that is the local council or a privately owned took place. individual or company – ensure that the accident is logged in • Keep records of your injuries and details of any out of pocket the accident book. expenses you may have incurred as a result of your injuries, • If the incident takes place at work, notify your workplace health such as loss of earnings, medications, travel expenses and de- and safety representative. tails of any care that you may have received. • Take photographs of the scene of the accident on the day - or as near to the day of the accident as possible.
