Lyclear (Pfizer Consumer Healthcare)

Head lice are a distressing problem for families. Lack of understanding combined with stigma and myth, means parents continue to hold schools responsible for outbreaks. In 1999, the Lyclear Education Support Programme launched, providing support and advice to help families and schools work together to combat the problem of head lice:

• Head Teacher's Support Pack
• Parent’s leaflets
• An Assembly resource

• 31% of UK Primary Schools received a copy of the Headteacher's Support Pack
• Over 275,000 copies of the parent’s leaflets have been requested
• All UK Primary Schools have a copy of the Assembly resource
• The Pre-schoolGuide was distributed to 13,600 Pre-schools and Nursery’s
