Following a number of cases of Scarlet Fever and STREP A across the UK, the Local Authority have issued the following guidance.
Children or staff with scarlet fever should stay off the setting/school until 24 hours after their first dose of antibiotics and they feel well enough to return.
We understand parents/carers will be anxious so please follow the link to the NHS website for more information about scarlet fever https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/scarlet-fever/
More information regarding winter illnesses can be found in the leaflet shared at the start of the year Winter Preparedness School Leaflet
If you are concerned about your child’s health, we recommend you seek medical advice from your GP or other health providers.
