7/7 AWARENESS THROUGH THE GOLD RIBBON The Gold Ribbon is the world-wide symbol for Childhood Cancer Awareness – We want the whole of the UK to recognise the Gold Ribbon in the same way that people recognise the Pink Ribbon (From 2010 onwards!)

6/7 The symptoms of many Child & Teenage Cancers are very often dismissed as usual ailments. If a child or teenager’s symptoms continue with no satisfactory explanation then a referral must be made

5/7 AWARENESS WITH GP’S In particular, GP’s need to be made more aware of the symptoms of various Cancers. We need to ensure that every GP follows the guidelines contained in the NICE Guidelines for Cancer Referral nice.org.uk/guidance/ng12

4/7 We have produced a Signs and Symptoms Awareness card and the 1st delivery of a million Cards to 5,000 schools is due to take place week commencing 29th Nov. 2010. The awareness cards will be given to all parents of school age children detailing the signs and the symptoms
