Sick Children Policy

How do you ensure that families are informed about and follow the service’s policy and guidelines for the exclusion of ill children?

We have a handout that we provide parents with the exclusion periods and the educators highlight the illness i.e. 2 running bowel movements, so they know that we are following the policy.

Families are provided with the exclusions poster on enrolment and in our transition packs. The sick child policy and its specifications are provided to families via the family manual as well as emailed out with any updates e.g. temperature exclusion changed from 37.5 to 38 degrees. Parents are told verbally of exclusions periods if they are contacted due to their child showing symptoms of infectious diseases and this is written on the illness form for the parent to sign.
