Sun protection policy

SunSmart recommends early childhood services and schools develop and implement a comprehensive, evidence-informed UV protection policy to reduce UV exposure and encourage the use of all five forms of sun protection.

Almost all primary schools (93%) and early childhood services (97%) report having a sun protection policy. Research shows schools and services with a sun protection policy have the greatest number of children and staff protecting themselves from the sun.
