Should my child be at School if they are Unwell?

14th July 2021

The Public Health Agency have issued this handy guide for parents as to when to keep your child off school to prevent illnesses spreading.  Each school has their own policy so if in doubt ask your child's teacher. 

Check out our handy guide below to find out when they should stay off, and when they can go back.

Symptoms and severity of illness will vary from person to person. If your child is unwell and you have concerns about their symptoms you should speak to your GP.

If you are pregnant and have been exposed to any of these illnesses you should seek prompt advice from your antenatal carer.
