Use this course to learn more about important health topics and increase your knowledge, skills and confidence in using e-Bug resources, which tie into efforts to reduce the spread of infections and antibiotic resistance in the UK. The course can be used to support parents, carers and educators to teach children using the e-Bug resources during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Use this free e-learning course to learn practical tips on keeping early years settings safe.

This course is aimed at anyone who works with or cares for infants and young children (under the age of 4 years). This includes nursery nurses, daycare staff, childminders, and carers.
