When should I keep my child off school? - NHS advice
It can be tricky deciding whether or not to keep your child off school when they're unwell. There are government guidelines for schools and nurseries about health protection and managing specific infectious diseases. These say when children should be kept off school and when they shouldn't.
Safeguarding
If you have any safeguarding concerns, no matter how big or small, please report it. Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility.
If you have concerns or suspicions concerning a child, contact Powys safeguarding team 24 hours/day, 365 days/year by email csfrontdoor@powys.gov.uk or through their online reporting form (Click for link).
