Please check children’s hair regularly and to continually follow the advice on how to help prevent your child from becoming infested with head lice. It is important to examine and comb the hair on a daily basis and treat with conditioner when washing the hair. If your child is seen to have a large number of live adult lice when attending school we will ask you to collect your child and keep him/her at home until the problem has been resolved. To treat a child already infested, comb the hair as much as possible and treat with conditioner, this seems to be the best advice.
