School can be a tricky place for a child with eczema.

Take a look at this short animation which explains how eczema can make school life more difficult. Scroll down to see how we can help.

Our new package of training and resources

We now provide a complete set of training and resources to help staff in primary schools and nurseries support children with eczema. Here’s how you can make your school or nursery more eczema-friendly:​

  1. Share this leaflet with all the staff in your school.​
  2. Book onto our CPD which is free for school staff (this is in the process of being accredited). Each workshop is 1.5 hours. Upcoming dates are listed below. If preferred, you can request a full staff training session by emailing info@eos.org.uk.​
  3. Request a free school workshop for your class to educate the children about eczema. These are available to primary schools and nurseries across the UK.​
  4. After the workshop, reinforce the children’s learning with the fun activity that is also provided.​

Our wellbeing resources are great to use with children in school.

Please consider signposting families to EOS. Feel free to pass this electronic flyer to families who could benefit.​
