Course Details
Specifically centred around cold and flu awareness in school settings, this CPD course is a helpful resource for teachers, teaching assistants, and other education professionals. Colds and flu are infectious diseases; the spread of either in classrooms is a real health and safety risk that can be minimised with the right knowledge and actions.
Continue your professional development and learn more about creating a safe learning environment that’s also compliant with any relevant health and safety legislation. The course covers the differences between colds and flu, symptoms to watch for, and how infectious diseases can spread. In the wake of a pandemic, this knowledge is a hugely useful tool to have in your toolbelt.
Become more aware of the risk factors of colds and flu and how they can spread in an education setting, how symptoms present and their potential severity, possible complications of the diseases, and what actions you can take to minimise the harm caused—particularly during the “cold and flu season”. Take this knowledge back to your school and spread awareness and preparedness.
Equipping yourself to keep learners and educators alike safe in a very practical way is a fantastic CPD opportunity, offering very transferable skills. Boost cold and flu awareness for yourself and your school!
