Making santising hands upon entry to a educational establishment mandatory
Make mandatory your handwashing advice to schools. In good conscience and without prejudice I cannot believe 600 plus teenagers entering a school will choose to do so. Our PM and his advisors have repeatedly stated it is the single most important action to delay the spread.
My primary school has made handwashing on entry mandatory after discussing with local council. My secondary school however is academy school and they refuse to make handwashing on entry mandatory. While advised to Thier position remains same, when told to by relevant authorities they assure me they will.. other academies follow suit. Without handwashing on entry all previous time and resources spent become wasted.
