After speaking with several mums and dads we feel bringing back the nit nurse is a viable solution to the ever growing head lice problem in UK schools. Some parents are experiencing weekly de lousing and by midweek the the nits are back. You may feel it is embarrassing for a child who is found with them but what if they are a child from that one family that doesn't delouse that keeps giving it back to your child?

The increase in support indicates that this issue requires a formal policy review at the district level. I am currently drafting a briefing document to present to the local school board based on the feedback provided here.

I feel so bad for my boy, he gets so itchy and embarrassed. It really isn't fair that some parents just don't care enough to treat it.

ABSOLUTELY. Schools are just breeding grounds for them now because nobody checks. Need someone with actual authority to handle it.
