What steps is Edge Hill University taking to cope with the Flu Pandemic?
The University has a Pandemic Flu Plan in place that outlines the actions that should be taken at different stages of a pandemic. The action plan deals with the following key areas: • Hygiene and control of infection; • Communication and information to staff and students; • Operating with potentially high rates of absence; • Cleaning services; • Support to students and staff who are ill. We have been making sure that we have adequate channels of communication available to inform the whole University about swine flu. We are also ensuring that our business continuity plan is updated.
