Guest Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Hi everyone, I was just wondering how to get hold of a new poster outlining action to be taken when a child has a particular illness chickenpox, scabies etc Ours is looking a little worse for wear. Also i am sure i have read that children should now be kept away for 48 hours when having suffered from sickness not just following the latest bugs but as a standard form of practice now. Thanks N

hali Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 yes dunkirk it is 48 hrs now - much to parents disgust!!!!
Guest Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Thanks for your prompt responses. The link is great i would still like to order the A3 laminated poster if i can find out where from. Hali, i know what you mean about parents disgust hee hee we do have a problem when children blatently tell us they "were sick in their bed last night" in front of their parent nd you can tell by the response on their parents face that its true, BUT the parent will say ooh they mean a few weeks ago they are fine. How are we supposed to deal with this mmm
Guest Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 we have a chart from the NHS i think my early years support team get this for our area. It is updated each year. Ours is on the notice board and parents use it lots but do not take much notice of the exclusion time!!!!

Guest Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Hi I am having trouble with downloading the poster on to my computer, has anyone else tried to do it? I know you can order hard copies but a copy on my computer would be useful for my NVQ.
