Schools are by definition the source of the spread of head lice infestation among children because of intense and frequent physical contact.. The effective treatment of head lice is only possible through a concerted joint effort by all committed parties. Both the parents and the school are responsible for the prevention, treatment and elimination of the head lice infestation.
Speak openly about head lice, it’s not a taboo
Parents are primarily responsible for the control and the actual treatment of the head lice infestation of their children. The school is responsible for preventive measures and to pro-actively involve the parents in the fight against head lice. Both the parents and the child may feel embarassed and not wish to tell the school when their child is infested. Head lice must never be a taboo subject and should be regularly and openly discussed with the children and the parents. Children must be educated in their own language with illustrations on their own level. It’s important for kids to know that head lice have nothing to do with a lack of hygiene - on the contrary, head lice can happen to any child.
The forming of a parents’ committee
Parents are an essential link in the fight against head lice at school. At schools with regular bouts of head lice infestation, a parents’ committee should be formed;
