Infection Control Guidance in Secondary Schools Resource Pack (FREE Delivery in the UK)

Description   SPC Publishing (an imprint of The School Planner Company) has announced the release of their inaugural resource pack - "Infection Control Guidance for Secondary Schools" Overview of the Resource Pack This pack provides invaluable guidance, enabling schools to develop effective policies and procedures that will help protect staff and pupils from contracting and spreading infectious diseases within the school setting. Is your school prepared for an outbreak? Is your school prepared for an outbreak? How recently have you carried out an infection control audit in your school? Does your school meals service comply with the Food Hygiene Regulations 2006? Do all staff know what to do when they suspect a pupil has an infectious disease? Have all staff and pupils obtained suitable immunisations? Do all staff know how to clear spills of blood safely? Who is responsible for managing hazardous waste? Do you provide liquid soap and paper towels at all hand basins? Is your school’s cleaning equipment colour-coded? Do all staff have access to appropriate personal protective equipment? What is your policy on sharps injuries? Do your emergency management plans cover outbreaks? Who is it for? The handbook is designed to help school communities quickly and easily embed good, preventative practices at all levels. On a day-to-day basis, absences should be reduced through these proactive measures. Ultimately though, the school can have confidence that the risk of potentially life-threatening outbreaks is being well managed. Implementing and teaching pupils good hygiene practices thus plays a major role in the education system. It helps to protect pupils' health, reduce absenteeism and ensures pupils know how to protect themselves from infectious diseases throughout the rest of their lives. The handbook urges schools to teach their pupils basic hygiene skills, such as hand washing, and to encourage pupils to use these skills throughout the school day. "I recommend that all secondary schools obtain a copy of this handbook for use by head teachers and staff involved in formulating and implementing infection control policies and procedures in schools. Health protection and infection control professionals should also familiarise themselves with the content, thus allowing collaborative working with Local Education Authorities and school staff."
