Bring back the nit nurse

This is important because I believe it is costing a fortune for low income families having to continuously treat their children’s hair, not quarterly, not monthly, not weekly but daily!!!

My children come home daily with fresh eggs and lice because a nit nurse isn't available to help with this issue.

Last year we spent £672.73 on treatment and this will continue because nothing is being done about the massive head lice problem in schools.

My kids lose sleep over it, they have scabs on their head, they now do not want to go to school because of it and no direct action is being taken in schools.

The school simply send out letters to all parents to say, “can you check your child’s hair” - this is not good enough. We have been trying the “handing out letters” thing for years now, with no progress being made! I’m sick of watching my kids suffer.
