MMR Against Measles – Updated Toolkit – January 2024
With two cases of laboratory-confirmed measles since October 2023, one of which was confirmed last week, Public Health Scotland (PHS) is encouraging the public to take up the offer of the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine which is highly effective in protecting against measles.
Public Health Scotland is re-issuing a social media toolkit with assets and suggested captions. Please use these assets on your nursery and/or schools social media channels to raise awareness of this important public health issue, using the hashtag #MMRAgainstMeasles.
Click here to view the social media toolkit. There's step by step instructions that explain what to do.

Dear parent/carer,
HM Inspectors from Education Scotland will be visiting us to conduct an inspection
during the week commencing 11th December 2023. You can find out more about inspection, from the
Inspection and review documentation pages of Education Scotland’s website.
As part of the inspection, Inspectors gather the views of stakeholders via an online
survey which is available here https://forms.education.gov.scot/tag/03?lng=en&cs=CS2003004175&t=1.
I would like to encourage you to complete the survey. Inspectors will also be
meeting with groups of parents during the inspection so to be part of that discussion
you should complete the survey with additional links provided to indicate your
interest in taking part.
You should complete the survey by 1st December 2023 for one child or for each of your
children in attendance.
If you have trouble completing the survey at home, you are welcome to come to the early years office and we
provide you with access to a computer to fill out the survey.
Kind regards
Angela Pisani, Early Years Manager

It’s not too late for your child to get the flu vaccine.
Getting children vaccinated is the most effective way to reduce the risk of children getting flu and having to take time off nursery or childcare or spreading it to friends and family who are at greater risk this winter.
To help remind parents and carers about the importance of the flu vaccine, Public Health Scotland has updated the social media toolkit with assets and captions for you to share on your social media channels.
These resources encourage parents and carers to rebook their child’s vaccination appointment if they missed it.
Click here to download the social media assets. You’ll be able to download these for Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, depending what social media platforms your nursery uses.
Click here to view the social media toolkit. You’ll see wording which can be posted alongside the asset on your chosen social media platform to announce when consent forms have been sent and encourage returns by your deadline.
There is also a range of resources available on the Public Health Scotland website for children aged 2-5 including informed consent leaflets, draft SMS and email copy, briefings and videos.
All the resources, sized for different channels, are available to download here.
Please could you regularly feed these social media assets into your planned activity using the hashtag #ChildFluScot.
