Childcare centre guide

February 7, 2013

HEALTH minister Tanya Plibersek this week launched a new guide aimed at keeping children healthy and safe in childcare centres. Dubbed Staying Healthy - Preventing infectious diseases in early childhood education and care services offers a range of practical advice to workers and parents on how to reduce the spread of ailments such as norovirus and flu. Tips include advice on cleaning with detergent and water, when to use bleach, using disposable gloves and changing nappies. “It will also help staff recognise and manage a child who is sick, how to discuss with parents the reasons for keeping unwell kids at home, staff immunisation and diseases common to education and care services,” Plibersek said. The guide can be downloaded free by CLICKING HERE.
