Simple Things – Little Ones Help Keep Us All Well has been developed to prevent the spread of winter illnesses amongst our population.

This year the campaign is specifically aimed at parents, carers and grandparent and encourages them to remind their little ones to:

  • wash their hands before eating, after the toilet and after they cough or sneeze

  • cover their nose and mouth when they cough or sneeze

Encouraging this behaviour will help keep them and others well over winter.

We've created a wide-ranging toolkit to help you support the campaign in whatever ways you can, so we can minimise the spread of germs and protect ourselves – and each other – from colds and bugs. Here are some of the ways you can help:

  • Use the campaign’s digital assets including videos and images available for sharing on social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok)

  • Share the campaign on your social media channels and through internal communications

  • Print out posters and other assets which feature QR codes for easy access to the Simple Things website

  • Promote the campaign and app on your intranet

  • Share the campaign on your public-facing website
