Management Information Sheet

The health protection in children and young people settings guidance collection may be useful for education colleagues ahead of the back to school period. The information is designed for use by staff members in children and young people settings (for example teachers, managers, teaching assistants, and cleaners) to prevent and respond to infection, incidents and outbreaks while minimising disruption to children and young people's face-to-face education. It includes useful guidance, tools and resources.

The e-Bug programme also has a range of resources which can help educate young people on infection prevention and control and how to prevent antimicrobial resistance.

In view of the growing number of pertussis outbreaks in educational settings and the specific considerations for management, it was recognised that more detailed guidance for managing pertussis outbreaks in educational settings would be helpful. This guidance outlines outbreak management options based on a scenario-based approach for nurseries, primary, secondary and boarding schools.
