Question 1

Should I use PPE post-pandemic?

Accepted Answer

During the COVID-19 pandemic, measures to control the spread of infection became second nature to early years settings. And whilst coronavirus is no longer a global health emergency – and the use of PPE in childcare isn’t a legal requirement – it is still highly advisable.
Ideally, PPE should be chosen based on a risk assessment of your establishment.
According to the UK Health Security Agency, if there is a risk of splashing with blood or bodily fluids, disposable gloves and plastic aprons should be worn. A fluid-resistant surgical face mask and eye protection should be available if there is a risk of contamination of the face.
Eye and face protection, an apron and gloves must also be worn if you care for a child or young person who requires aerosol-generating procedures.
Detailed information on the recommended PPE for childcare can be found here.

Question 2

What PPE do I need for my early years setting?

Accepted Answer

This will depend on several factors, including the age range of the children, their specific care needs and the type of daily tasks involved in the care provided (e.g. nappy changing). 
Aprons, gloves and masks are the most common PPE used in childcare settings – helping to maintain high standards of hygiene, protect against contaminants (e.g. body fluids) and minimise the spread of touch-based and airborne infections. But whatever your requirements, our childcare PPE range has it all – meaning you can tick it all off your list in one order.
