EDUCATION IS KEY TO TACKLING HEAD LICE

EDUCATION on head lice could play a vital role in reducing the amount of head lice outbreaks among primary school - children, according to the makers of market - leading head lice brand Full Marks.

SSL International, manufacturers of Full Marks, claim that education on head lice is key to managing outbreaks in the classroom. They have produced a range of downloadable free education material available from www.headlice.co.uk to help give teachers and schools essential information for managing head lice infections during school term.

A recent survey carried out by Full Marks revealed that this common ailment is leading to children having days off school, with 1 in 5 parents having kept their kids at home because of head lice infections. This means the average child has not attended school for at least 1 day per term due to head lice.  43% of parents also didn’t have a clue what the difference was between head lice (the parasite) and nits (the empty eggs shell), leading to problems for parents detecting and treating head lice correctly.

Caroline Green, brand manager for SSL’s range of head lice products, said:- “Education on head lice is key to the appropriate control of infections. Head lice are passed through close head-to-head contact and outbreaks are often common at school, due to the way children play and interact.  Although the primary responsibility for the detection and treatment of head lice lies with the parent/guardian, teachers can provide an essential role in assisting both children and their parents with a greater understanding of this very common and easily treatable problem.”

Educational material listed on the website includes essential facts on how head lice are caught, along with a downloadable letter to parents and a downloadable head lice newsletter, giving schools options for communicating about head lice to parents.  The site also advises teachers about whether or not children should be sent home from school and features downloadable worksheets for infants and juniors to learn about head lice to help remove the stigma associated with this everyday problem.
