Raising awareness in childcare settings
Meningitis can affect anyone of any age, but babies and young children are most at risk
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
We have created a checklist for you to demonstrate that you are Meningitis Aware.
We are unable to process MARM checklists at this time. We have left access to the MARM checklist here as a tool to help you self-assess your childcare setting's meningitis plans
Meningitis can affect anyone of any age, but babies and young children are most at risk
Although many babies any young children will make a full recovery, others will be left with a range of after-effects which can be temporary or permanent
It is vital that all childcare settings have a sickness and illness policy in place that staff have access to and are familiar with
Being prepared with a plan will give you and your team the confidence to deal with the situation
We can provide a range of free printed and digital resources for you to raise awareness
