Headlice is becoming a big issue at schools and a lot of parents arent treating there childrens hair which means other children are getting headlice and have to be treated on a regular basis which isnt fair on the children parents need to be told when there child has lice and need treatment
Headlice treatment is free to everyone from care of the chemist so parents dont have to pay for it we just need the headlice stopped so all schools should have a nurse back in schools or parent volunteers to check all childrens hair so parents can be informed and can treat there child we need to get rid of the headlice
