Covid-19

Please find the Workplace Safety Plan & Safe Return to work Risk Assessment attached below.

The research findings currently indicate that children have a lower rate of symptomatic infections than adults. The latest World Health Organisation (WHO) report states that the risk of transmission from child to child seems low, “For most Covid-19 infections in children, an adult was the source of infection”. 

Your child will be hand washing regularly throughout the day – please talk to them about thorough hand cleaning and hygiene expectations. Videos demonstrating these can be found on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TOno60UBLg

Checklist for parents and carers 

1. Monitor your child’s health and keep them home from school if they are ill.
2. Teach and model good hygiene practices for your children:

• Explain that they should wash their hands with soap and water frequently. As a minimum, children should wash their hands, on leaving home, before and after eating, after using any shared equipment / resources, after using the toilet, after sneezing or coughing and on returning home
• If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitiser (with 60-70% alcohol content). Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
• Ensure waste (such as used tissues) is safely collected, stored and disposed of.
• Cough and sneeze into a tissue or your elbow and avoid touching your face, eyes, mouth, nose.
