AnonyMouse_12805 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Do any of you use this above on the children? We dont- used to years ago but were then told to stop if it was alcohol based and f course thats all we have now. We have an ongoing debate at work at present whether it would be ok to use it just once a day administered by an adult. I've tried to research but cant find anything recent on whether to use or not. At least not anything credible. I did find an article that said to always wash your hands after using it. Thoughts?

AnonyMouse_19762 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Yes, children use it on entry - not something I ever thought I would be doing, but needs must I think - our Primary School do the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 As long as children are washing their hands on entry (effectively) that will be fine. There isn't any need to use hand gels unless there is no suitable water supply. I do understand that people are using them and i can understand why but they are very high in alcohol (to work) and this is absorbed through the skin. One or two applications in a day might be ok but at the moment some of these children are getting lots more. My hands are suffering !

AnonyMouse_8282 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 No sanitiser on children. We bring the children in 2 at a time and they wash hands with adult supervision. Works for us as the walk from carpark allows time Home time we spray magic spray (soapy water) and the children rub hands, then rinse off on the way out. Much quicker, parents can then use sanitiser once collected if the want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_11962 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 we get them to wash their hands when they come in (supervised by an adult) and don't use sanitiser on them, although I've seen many parents put it on their children Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_28434 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 We are also as above but a lot of our children have little bottles attached to their bags too which the parents use when they are out and about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_94209 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 We use sanitiser throughout the day. On entry and after snack, plus any other time we can not get all 44 children's hands washed in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
