e-Bug, operated by the UK Health Security Agency, is a health education programme that aims to promote positive behaviour change among children and young people to support infection prevention and control efforts, and to respond to the global threat of antimicrobial resistance. e-Bug provides free resources for educators, community leaders, parents, and caregivers to educate children and young people and ensure they are able to play their role in preventing infection outbreaks and using antimicrobials appropriately.

e-Bug ran a live webinar to discuss how our resources can be used to embed key hygiene messages to support the health and wellbeing of school children

To support education and childcare settings, the UKHSA have developed guidance on how to prevent and control the spread of infections in these settings. The guidance recommends the use of e-Bug to support students in adopting behaviours that can help create a safer environment for all.
