Aims

The aims of the Sneezesafe* programme are as follows:

  • To raise awareness about the importance of correct hygiene and tissue use in counteracting the spread of viruses
  • To encourage pupils to follow the simple 1-2-3 message which is in line with NHS recommendations for respiratory and hand hygiene:
    1. Use a tissue to blow your nose and to cover coughs and sneezes
    2. Throw used tissues in the bin as soon as possible
    3. Wash your hands as soon as you can.
  • To enable learning via a free web-based resource which is firmly rooted in the PSHE/PSD/PSE curriculum, plus downloadable content
  • To reinforce the same messages to parents

Please note: learning objectives for each online activity are included in the lesson plans, along with curriculum information.
