Managing infectious disease risks in long day care services: How well does this happen

The transmission of infectious diseases in childcare centres regularly occur and can pose a risk to the health of young children. This research explored the issues that support or impede good infection prevention measures and found gaps in policy and training that, if addressed, could help reduce disease transmission risk. The findings from this research will help inform national conversations to ensure evidence-based infection prevention measures are part of standard practice in the early childhood education and care sector
