All Head Teachers in Norfolk have been contacted via e-courier by the Director of Public Health for Norfolk and Waveney, Dr Jenny Harries. She is offering schools a 'communications toolkit' to help reduce the spread of common infections such as flu, tummy bugs, sickness and diarrhoea. These will help relay difficult messages about keeping children off when they are sick and likely to be infectious because they come directly from the DpH rather than from the school.
Suggested letters to parents, copy for newsletters / websites and school lesson resources can be found at www.norfolk.nhs.uk/germbusters or at www.gywpct.nhs.uk . Look for the section alled "Resources For Schools". In addition there are other sections containing a wide range of leaflets, films and posters which schools and parents may find helpful.
Also read the Health Schools autumn newsletter.
