Does your child have a bug? Are you worried about a chicken pox outbreak? Or not sure about the guidelines for conjunctivitis? Our children regularly come into contact with germs and illnesses, and unfortunately they are often quick to spread. The Public Health Agency have put together the below document which provides useful guidance for parents on what to do if your child is suffering from one these common childhood illnesses. (For a larger format, please see the attachment below)

If you have any other concerns about your child's health or development, we have access to a school nurse. For further details please see our 'School Nurse' page or click here
