Case Study

3 members of staff have phoned in with a sickness bug and 20 children are off today. You realise that you have a bug spreading among the children and staff and you are eager to take measures to prevent further cross infection.    1.       What steps will you take to prevent further cross infection?    2.       What instructions will you give to staff, children and parents? It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your assessor.
