As winter approaches, the Department of Health and Social Care and the Department for Education has published two blogs aimed to help reduce illness-related school absences. These outline practical steps schools and families can take together including those around basic hygiene practices, making children are up to date with their vaccinations and knowing when a child is too ill for school.
- Education Hub blog aimed at parents and carers: ‘Top tips on how to keep your child healthy at school’
- Education Hub blog aimed at teachers and school staff: ‘Reducing the spread of illness this winter: Seven steps to healthier schools and higher school attendance’
