Get The Nit Nurse back in all schools in all the Uk!

Closed 94 signatures

What the petition asks

Headlice are a huge inconvenience to many parents, plus the expense of lotions. Get nit nurses back in all schools in the UK. If we got the nit nurse back we could help parents understand the importance of searching for the lice.
I myself have 2 girls, one at aged 8 and one at aged 2. I know myself what an inconvenience it is and expensive it can but have to do the search every other day to keep them at bay. As we all know there are parents out there that don't understand the importance of searching. If we got the nit nurse back then they may become a thing of the past.
