Vandalism in school washrooms has increased since COVID and this has become such an issue in certain schools that they have elected to close these facilities outside of break times. This means pupils may not be able to carry out a hand wash when they need one – and the facilities are likely to be completely congested during break times and lunchtimes.
Pupils also need to be provided with plentiful supplies of soap and hand drying facilities in order to ensure a thorough wash and dry. And this again becomes difficult if the dispensers have been allowed to run out or if they are too difficult to use.
It is therefore crucial that all school washrooms systems are easy to use, child-friendly and are kept well stocked.
The Tork Foam Soap Dispenser has been designed to be easy to operate even by people with smaller, weaker hands, and Tork Sensitive Soaps are extra mild and will not sting the eyes.
The Tork PeakServe hand towel dispenser requires a particularly low pull-force to access a towel in just three seconds. And both the soap and hand towel units offer
a high capacity so that a long-lasting supply of soap and paper is assured.
Runouts can be prevented by means of a digital system such as Tork Vision Cleaning. This allows cleaners to check on refill requirements via a smartphone or tablet so that they can tell at a glance when a unit needs replenishing. This will ensure a continuous supply of soap and paper in the school washroom.
The record-breaking hand hygiene lesson demonstrates the fact that children are ready and willing to engage in hand hygiene practices – and that teachers can come up with ingenious ways of making the practice more fun.
Meanwhile councils, companies and other authorities are developing apps, games and activities to further promote hand hygiene among children. What needs to happen now is that schools should ensure that their washrooms are well equipped with robust, lockable dispensers and child-friendly fixtures. And this will make these facilities easier and more comfortable to use – while also deterring the vandals.
