A Valuable NHS Resource for Parents and Carers
At Prospect School, we understand the challenges parents and carers face when deciding whether their child is well enough to attend nursery or school. To support you in making these important decisions, we are pleased to introduce a valuable resource provided by the NHS: Is my child too ill for school?.
This comprehensive guide offers clear advice on a wide range of symptoms and conditions, helping you determine whether it is appropriate for your child to stay at home or attend school. The tool covers common illnesses such as colds, sore throats, and stomach bugs, providing specific recommendations based on the severity and nature of the symptoms.
Key Features of the NHS Guidance:
- Symptom Checker: Detailed information on various symptoms, helping you assess your child’s condition.
- Practical Advice: Clear guidelines on when it is safe for your child to attend school and when it is best to keep them at home.
- Easy Navigation: User-friendly interface, making it simple to find the information you need quickly.
- Reliable Information: Trusted advice from healthcare professionals, ensuring you make informed decisions.
We encourage all parents and carers to make use of this resource to ensure the health and well-being of your children and to minimise unnecessary absences from school. By following the guidance provided, you can help your child recover more quickly and reduce the spread of illnesses within our school community.
