Swine Flu - Information for Staff and Parents

The Council is working closely with partner agencies to plan for and manage the impact of "Swine Flu" in the area. A multi-agency group is continually monitoring and assessing the regional, national and international situation. At the same time, we are closely reviewing our own business continuity plans to ensure you are kept informed and priority services are maintained.
