I had no idea how wide this problem is!! Has anyone had any joy with what they are using in their school? My childrens school also has no hand washing/drying facilities and I was outraged by this, but I am even more outraged it is such a state wide problem. I have looked a bit into spray soap it looks to be a good solution as the soap wont be overused and spilt all over the floor in the toilets, which will avoid children slipping. I am now on my school council and hope to get soap into our school very soon!!

I’m so pleased to find this site as I have just started the process of tryng to fix our school problem ie no soap and nothing to dry hands on. It is in complete contradiction to what the children are taught and lack of money seems to be the common response. Rather than this just being a school problem – I hope to tackle it as an entire school communtity problem and put together a working party to bring handwashing to the top of the objectives of a school. After all – if you have high absentism through illness – how can a school function well.

Hi, my daughters school has no soap and no hand drying facilities, but strangely in the newsletters they repeat the importance of washing hands with soap and water. Also have signs around the school in relation to wash yours hands using soap and water. I called 9 schools in the area to see if this is common 8 schools have soap and 1 didnt. Bunnings even said they would donate the soap dispensers, still the school – wont do anything about. It will my mission to get this school to use soap – the teachers are provided with soap so why arent the children?

Hi, I have a 5yr old just started school and am shocked at the lack of provisions for hand washing in the schools. I have spoken to various DECS departments who advise that there are no min stds in place and its up to each school to manage. Can anyone tell me of a sucessful protocol that has been introduced in any Australian school so that I can go to our Governing Council with the aim of positively improving hygiene standards to minimise infections?

Hi, I came across your page, while searching for any avaialable hand hgyiene standards that school are obligated to comply with. My 4 year old just started going to a public school kidergarthen in which she is forced to share towels for hand drying and numerous attempts on my behalf has not convinced the school that the practice of sharing towels is wrong. keep up the good work and let me know if I can help in any way.

We certainly feel prevention is better than cure regardless of any other motivations. Lets hope that basic hand hygiene can an effective part of the solution.

Thanks Erwin. We hope to build the profile of this issue in the community. There are numerous programs and detailed policies on hand hygiene programs for the health sector, food industry, even childcare, but the mainstream school system has been overlooked. Up until now anyway…..
