Millions of school days are lost each year due to illness. Did you know 60% of all absences across schools in England is due to illness? (Source UK Department for Education)
Our hands are the main vehicle for transmitting germs, 80% of all infections are transmitted by hands (Source US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
- Germs and bacteria that cause common illnesses are invisible to the naked eye and can make us ill
- Germs are transferred by our hands, spread by people-to-people contact and through touching everyday surfaces
- Poor hand hygiene may lead to increased illness
- Illness results in pupil absenteeism and can affect the students' learning progress
Help reduce the spread of germs in your school by educating your students on the importance of washing their hands with soap.

Why Bulk Fill Soap Dispensers Are Not Good Practice
Open and pour-in soap dispensers are not as hygienic as sealed cartridge systems. This is because they are open to the environment and can result in bacteria and germs breeding inside the dispenser.
Bulk fill systems are often inadequately cleaned and incorrectly refilled, continual refilling results in new soap being contaminated by old soap
Bulk soap refillable dispensers are prone to bacterial contamination - recent studies demonstrated that 1 in 4 dispensers are contaminated*
