Make the nit nurse mandatory in schools to remedy this increasing infection rate

Nits are getting immune to treatments and the removal process is not only traumatising for children with longer hair, its time consuming and expensive. For these reasons, unfortunately, some children go left untreated and the epidemic continues.

Petitions have been tried before and failed and I can’t understand why. People you speak to, social media posts -nits are a huge problem within our schools. We need to re-instate the nit nurse and once again, get control over this unhygienic, distressing situation.
