As Summer approaches, the school would like to provide parents with information around the treatment of nits, if an outbreak was to occur along with how the school deal with an outbreak and the expectation on the parents.
The school:
- Informs parents in a particular class by text message in the event of a nits outbreak.
- Provide parents with treatment advice of nits in its newsletter.
- Works with families to ensure that nits are kept under control by providing the parents with the treatment and giving addition advice about how to prevent nits from returning.
- Provides parents with a link to a school nurse for further support and information if the condition continues.
- Provides parents with combs & treatment for extreme cases.
- Follows guidance from the NUT; which suggests not singling out particular children, not refusing access to school and not issuing individual letters.
- Arranges a termly open surgery led by the school Nurse in order for parents to pop in for additional advice.
Parents/carers are responsible for keeping their family’s hair clear of lice by:
- regular shampooing and conditioning and combing hair at least twice a day
- regular combing with a fine tooth plastic or detector comb on a weekly basis to detect head lice
- if head lice are suspected using the ‘wet combing’ method to detect moving lice
- alerting friends, family and the school if head lice are detected, and letting them know that treatment is being undertaken.
