Childhood Illnesses
See First aid for childcarers
The childcare and education worker has a role in the care of a sick child, not to treat illnesses, but to decide:
- whether the child is ill
- whether the illness is serious or minor
- whether a colleague needs to be informed
- whether you need to contact the child's parents
- whether you need to contact a doctor or other health professional
