A learner falls ill, a school’s duty of care begins

Protecting learners requires more than academic supervision; it demands preparedness, compassion and a functional school health system.A school is entrusted with more than the academic development of children. It is equally entrusted with their safety, welfare and well-being. Every morning, parents release their children into the care of teachers and school administrators with the hope that they will return home safely after another day of learning.
