At school
SunSmart recommends that all schools implement a SunSmart policy to ensure a healthy UV exposure balance – one that minimises skin cancer risk and helps with vitamin D. This also helps address duty of care and health and safety responsibilities for staff and students.
SunSmart has a number of resources, sample policies, family notes and online curriculum support to help share the SunSmart message. Please use the link for your school type to access relevant program membership, information and resources.
