Who is this course for

It’s natural that our bodies and clothes accumulate dirt, food particles and germs. But everyone should ensure that they take responsibility for their own hygiene. Using the gym and then coming to work without showering is a no-no. Wearing dirty clothes is unprofessional too and will likely have effects on your social life. This course explains the meaning of hygiene in schools, your responsibilities, why good hygiene should be practiced and how to talk to others about their hygiene problems in a sensitive way if needed.

We all have a role to play when it comes to personal hygiene. This key schools training is useful for everyone so they can understand the effects it has, but especially for Headteachers, SBMs and Head of Years so they can deal with a ‘situation’ sensitively.
