School guidelines

Guidelines for the school management of head lice

The Guidelines clearly define the roles and responsibilities for members of the school community, including the principal, teachers, administration staff and head lice support volunteers. The guidelines also outline both the proactive and reactive strategies for managing head lice in the school community.

The proactive strategies minimise heavy or recurrent head lice conditions. The reactive strategies provide a comprehensive approach to managing outbreaks of head lice.

A number of other additional resources support these guidelines.
