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.
