Research shows that high ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure from the sun in childhood and adolescence significantly increases the risk of developing skin cancer.
Parents, families and the community also play an important role to model and reinforce the 5 ways to be sun safe with children and young people.
Sun Safety Policy
This policy will outline a wide range of strategies to minimise the risks associated with UVR exposure.
For ALL medications/ointments/sunscreen to be administered during school hours and/or during school-related events, provide the school with:
- a completed Consent to administer medication form
- the medications/ointment/sunscreen with an attached pharmacy label, in its original container, with intact packaging.
