Winter Preparedness

As winter approaches staff and pupils in schools continue to be particularly susceptible to widespread infections.  Health plans and arrangements may need to be reviewed. School nurses are well placed to advise about health issues associated with cold weather.

Consider and review your action card on "shortage of staff" within your Business Continuity plan and be prepared to;

• Implement remote learning where possible
• Have plans for some flexibility of staff duties and activities
• Ensure schools are aware of attendance coding
• Have deep cleaning arrangements prepared if required
