Sunscreen use in schools - who is responsible?

Additional Information

Children risk being sunburnt in schools as it is currently unclear who is responsible for their sun safety during school hours.

The charity the British Skin Foundation (BSF) would like the issue of sunscreen re-application debated and clarified in the House of Commons, so this risk is reduced.

Nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools in the UK currently have no standardised policies in terms of the responsibility of sunscreen re-application amongst staff, pupils and parents. As it stands, each school or local education authority decides for themselves on an ad-hoc basis what they want to action - if anything.
