The cancer charity Tenovus has called for schools to be given free sun tan lotion for children.
AMs to discuss calls for free sun tan lotion for schools
Assembly Members are to discuss calls from the cancer charity Tenovus to provide free sun cream for children at schools. It follows several cases when parents have been told that children will not be allowed to take sun tan lotion into school.
The Children and Young People Committee will hear evidence from teaching unions as well as cancer charities. They will look at whether current policies and guidelines for schools with regards to sun protection are effective.
A petition with more than 9,000 signatories was handed into the Senedd earlier this month. Teaching union, NAHT say that clearer guidelines are needed for schools and teachers.
