There are concerns the Government's new health guidance for children could impact employer attitudes towards parents.

The guidelines say kids with a mild cough, headache, or runny nose should go to school, provided they don't have Covid-19 or other symptoms like a fever or vomiting.

This move is in an effort to improve school attendance numbers.

But NZEI President Mark Potter told Mike Hosking that parents may be pressured by their employers to go to work, despite their kids being unwell.

He says there's a growing wave of mental health issues at play, which are often very difficult, and parents are struggling with how to help them.
