Schools and nurseries are common sites for the transmission of infections. Being in close contact with other children, compounded with a developing understanding of hygiene practices, can exacerbate the transmission of infections. This makes educational settings a breeding ground for micro-organisms which may cause infection.
Therefore it is important for staff to understand the different modes of transmission and methods to prevent spread of infections.
