Staying Safe

Ideas to help support your child's mental health. Your child’s teenage years are an exciting time, but they can be tricky too. With hormones going wild and bigger pressures at school, challenging mood swings are par for the course. With mental ill-health on the rise though, you’ll want to keep watch on whether their moods are normal, or if they need a bit of help.

Bug Busting

Headlice is a common problem in primary schools, and we'll never crack it completely, but we can reduce it.

5 good reasons to support us and Bug Bust at home:

headlice can cause distracting itching
headlice easily move between people through head-to-head contact, meaning they can be quite tricky to eradicate
children can feel uncomfortable at school when they have headlice
no medicated shampoos are 100% effective but regular bug busting has proven to be 4x better
some people only have 1 or 2 lice and no itching - bug busting means they will be found and busted!
