Guest Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 If this has come up before I'd be glad of someone to point me in the right direction. Is there a infections and illnesses list that is available anywhere? Or is this type on document regional and differes from county to county? Thanks ppp
Cait Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 There have been several discussed on the forum maybe 6 months ago. Have you tried a search? There are posters available and dowloadable national guidelines - if you can't find anything come back and shout!
Guest Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 here is one thread about infectious diseases disease
denisse Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Hopefully I have managed to attach the one that we use in our setting. We have one in the setting and one on the parent infotmation board. Dx Infection_Control_in_child_care_settings.pdf
Cait Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 We have that one - but I don't agree with the conjunctivitis bit. It says there's no exclusion necessary.
Inge Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 we used ' the spotty book' here is one from Plymouth... there are several versions around the spotty book Inge
Guest Wolfie Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 We devised our own, slightly modifed from the guidelines given by the Helath Protection Agency. PERIODS_OF_EXCLUSION_FOR_INFECTIOUS_DISEASE.doc
sam2368 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 I've seen a poster, at my sons school, listing infectious diseases, incubation periods etc. Does anyone have one at their setting a know the reference code for it by any chance?
sam2368 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 www.wiredforhealth.gov.uk/infect_poster.pdf This is the link to the poster but I can't see a reference number although you can print it or write to the DOH or fax them. Sam
belle06 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 we also felt the same about the conjunctivitis and after seeking advice was told that we could put our on exclusion policy for conjunctivitis in place as long as ensured parents where aware of our specific stance which we have done without problem
