Poor mite. I know why these rules are in place but I so think this is a silly one! Why can't teachers apply sunscreen on one of the hottest days!

How old is he?

at our school teachers can as long as you have signed the consent form.. but Sun stroke is more likely from not keeping hats on or drinking not enough water x

Teachers are allowed to touch children. Often schools put local rules into place without thinking about complications. Then we get the usual what's the world coming to etc.

legally apeaking if he's got heatstroke while they've had him in their care then they're liable for him and what happens to him. It's called duty of care!

Agree with you 100%, but who do you think are responsible for these rules? Parents! Like the mps proposed pay increase, we Joe Public demanded the change: sadly the change is equally unsavoury.

No no you didn't offend me at all! I just get annoyed that this myth is repeated so often people believe it including a lot of teachers! If they'd bothered to check the legislation then they'd be aware of the concept of duty of care for a start.

I've had sunstroke and I also have BCC from the sun. Keep the little chap hydrated and cool. Make sure that if he starts being sick you get him to a&e immediately!

I nearly lost a job once through that type of red tape, I was on playground duty and a little one got stung by a bee my first instinct was to suck the bite out which I did only to be told I could be suspended for child abuse the bite was on his chin and I had sucked it.

Actually not a winning case of child abuse I'm afraid. The behaviour wasn't abusive at all, you could have been sacked only if there was specific guidance against this. However as a rule sucking a bee sting out isn't what you should do anyway

Sunstroke has nothing to do with the application of suncreams, you can smother a child in inch thick suncream and it will have no bearing on the fact of whether or not they will get sunstroke.

Sunstroke is caused by overheating of the body, as the body overheats the child (or adult) will perspire more, when the body is unable to perspire enough the body will overheat to critical levels.

The child would have been exposed to too much sunshine over a given period of time, that will be the problem...not the question of whether or not the teachers can apply suncreams to children anymore.

Another factor that can determine whether a child will sustain sunstroke is hydration, if it was hot in the days leading up to the school trip the child could have substantially dehydrated without anyone realising.

This dehydration will increase the chances of rapid body heating and also increase the likelihood of sunburn

A dehydrated body, particularly a childs body, will be more susceptible to sunburn.

In hot countries like Australia parents have it drilled into them to constantly hydrate a child through summer months.

Why would u suck a bee sting out

U can pull the sting out, its long enough. Then get the child to first aid and see if they have anything for stings..

Just as an instinct, I'd always done that if any of my 4 children got stung so it was an instant natural reaction, ie I acted how I would have done with my own.

A sunstroke occurs, when the sun shines on a persons head and parts of the neck for a long period of time. Unlike sunburns, which are caused by overexposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation, a sunstroke is the product of the sun’s long waves which produce heat (heat radiation). When experiencing a sunstroke, the body fails to regulate heat and this will most times end up in a high body temperature and fever.

A sunstroke is a type of heatstroke or hyperthermia, where the source of the heat acting on ones body is the sun. Sunstroke is the most common type of heatstroke and occurs due to a combination of dehydration and overheating of the body.

Suncream isn't going to help.. Sounds more like his neck was exposed and he didn't drink enough

Whatever has the world come to?

I can understand the need to be cautious in applying creams and administering medicines in light of so many allergies including those to lanolin (in some moisturisers and sun creams) but surely in "loco parentis" teachers should be able to reapply the sun lotion that the child carries in his school bag?

I'm not denying that, but the op said he has sunstroke cos the teachers aren't allowed to reapply suncream.

When my sun went on a trip they were asked to bring suncream so I guess the teachers would of put it on if he needed it

Threats and accusations from parents scare schools and what's acceptable for one is unacceptable for another.

It's got absolutely bugger all to do with health and safety. Health and safety is about health safety and welfare of all people on the property or in the care of those teachers and this includes the children. People blame "health and

Safety" without having read a single piece of legislation under the umbrella of health and safety and I include teachers. I was a school governor and the amount of crap teachers talked about h&s was staggering!

And yet they have a duty of care which is covered by statute not guidance. LEA's often have crap rules but schools can apply their own policies and I'm afraid many of them are lazy in their interpretation of the legislation. Holding hands depends on age and putting on plasters I'm afraid is again ignorance on the behalf of schools and in some cases LEA's teachers and governors and head teachers are more than capable of informing LEA's what school policies are which are much more in line with actual legislation.

Well in ours sun cream etc. shouldn't be administered for risks of allergies etc. etc. but obviously if children need help administering themselves, they get it (using their own).

So in conclusion...

Some schools have teachers who 'over think' educational guidelines

Some schools have teachers who are more practical and use their own discretion

Some people on here believe everything they read in tabloid newspapers

Some people on here are capable of dismissing most tabloid scare stories

Some people believe sun creams will stop sunstroke/heatstroke

Some people know that most cases of sunstroke/heatstroke are down to excessive exposure to the sun and dehydration

Oh....and some people think Elvis is still alive

Surely if you use the cream the child was sent in with the onus of checking for allergies lies with the parent?

Be interesting proving which cream was used or not wouldn't it?

For all the people that have the 'didn't do me any harm'/'use common sense' attitudes, there's the same number of 'don't look at my child in the wrong way'/'my child could be allergic to fresh air' parents.

So don't blame teachers, or even the rule makers until you've looked first to how those stupid rules came to be.
