Guest Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 HI clearly we have exclusion periods for sick children, but not for staff so we have to have them?, (we don't pay sick pay), if we do have to have them where can we get them from. thanks in anticipation Dawn
TORO Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 It will be the same as for the child, if my staff have Diarrhoea, they can't come in for 48 hours. Toro
Jo A Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 At out setting the staff exclusion periods are the same as for children
Guest Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Same here. The exclusion period is the same as for a child which is difficult when a staff member insists they are fine and I know they won't get paid for the time they are off but it prevents any chance of infection being passed on and running rife.
Guest Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I use exactly the same policy and procedures for children and staff.All staff are told what the requirements are at interview and during their induction. This really is part of the safeguarding issues and although there maybe loss of pay, anyone found to be the cause of spreading infection is being irresposible.
Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Both exclusion periods are the same, for adults and children!
Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Same here same for Adults and children, but my staff do get paid for the time they are off as their wages are paid over 52 weeks so it would be to complicated to keep changing it. They do alot of work in their own time so I don't feel to bad about it.
Guest Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 At out setting the staff exclusion periods are the same as for children us too We also donot accept children who are on antibiotics until course is finished, What is your policy for staff regarding this
Cait Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 We have accepted children with antibiotics - it depends what it's for. This was for an infected toenail so hardly a risk to other children. I would expect staff to stay off for the same length of time as children. You can't have one rule for one and another for someone else.
Guest Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Children have to have at least the first 24 hours of anti biotics at home to give it chance to "kick in" and for the child to start feeling better and also in case they have a reaction to them.
Guest Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 us tooWe also donot accept children who are on antibiotics until course is finished, What is your policy for staff regarding this We accept children in if they are taking anti biotics after 48 hours as it takes this long for them to get into the system and begin to work. I dont think it is necessary for them to stay off for the whole course deb
