Dettol Handy Helpers Programme improving hygiene of children to reduce spread of cold and flu

The Dettol Handy Helpers Programme has been designed to educate children on the impact spreading germs can have, and uses behavioural science to teach simple steps to improve hand hygiene. The project was started with an experiment with more than 1,000 children across the country, and it saw a ten per cent increase in children’s behaviour to adopt better hand washing behaviour, with 75 per cent of children taking part now practising good hand hygiene.
