Dear Colleagues,
Does anyone know of any research that demonstrates parents have an increased likelihood of acquiring infections from their children attending day care/nursery, leading to increased
sickness absence?
The background is…..a father with 30yrs service and exemplary sickness absence record. Two little one of 12 months and 4 years, both in nursery. Since January this year the
father has had 17 days sickness, all minor stuff that he says he catches off his children.
I can understand the logic and anecdotally I have had parents say this but no firm proof. Can anyone point me to some?
Kind regards,
Eleanor
