Ensuring Students' Safety During Flu Season
Nov 5, 2009
Oxford Learning has implemented company-wide policies during flu season to ensure that students remain healthy and safe while attending classes at Oxford Learning.
“Our topmost priority is the health and well-being of our students,” said Nick Whitehead, CEO of Oxford Learning Centres, Inc. “At all times, we are committed to providing an environment that is both comfortable and safe. Our commitment is even more relevant during the flu season.”
All Oxford Learning locations will be following the government-mandated policies to provide a germ-free learning environment for students.
Posters in lobby areas, classroom areas, and restrooms will help on-site students to adopt the proper techniques to help prevent the spread of germs.
This includes, but is not limited to, proper disinfection of learning surfaces and materials, following correct hand-washing practices, providing hand sanitizer the classroom areas, washrooms, and in the lobby, as well as ensuring that any staff who is unwell remain at home.
Additionally, Oxford Learning is providing an open make-up schedule to students who have to miss class due to illness during flu season. Parents should not feel pressured to bring a child to a scheduled class if that child is feeling unwell.
“Everybody is concerned about the spread of flu this year,” said Whitehead. “Our corporate policies are in place to alleviate any stress that our families feel about the health of their children while in our learning environment.”
