Back to school – 5 things we can all do to help manage winter illness

As children and young people return to school, it’s important to be aware of the winter illnesses currently circulating. A few simple habits can help keep children, families and classrooms healthy. 

Newham Public Health Team are sharing an updated blog published by UKHSA which sets out some of the simple actions that parents of school age children can take to help protect their families and those around them. 

Please share this with parents and guardians as it includes public health messaging on staying home when unwell, hand hygiene, catching coughs and sneezes, getting vaccinated, and using NHS resources for more information about winter illnesses.
