Healthy Habit
Posters
Children’s Services central has released a new free
series of posters designed to assist services in maintaining healthy
habits in their services.
Designed by Network of Community Activities,
the posters were created in response to enquiries from services about
accessing suitable and attractive resources that reinforce positive
healthy practices. The posters focus on three of the areas in the accreditation
process: hand-washing, nappy changing and infection control.
The infection control poster includes handy reminder stickers
to place in any location in the service as requiring special consideration
for infection control. The posters and stickers will assist staff and
families with visual reminders of procedures and have been distributed
free to services in NSW with the Spring issue of Central.
