Meningitis can affect anyone of any age, but babies and young children are most at risk
MARM for childcare providers
Thank you for registering your interest in helping your childcare setting to become Meningitis Aware.
The sections below will guide you through the process and provide the additional information you will need to ensure that your childcare setting is Meningitis Aware
Get started
We have created a checklist for you to demonstrate that you are Meningitis Aware.
