For Teachers

Meningitis and meningococcal disease remain an important cause of death in children and young adults up to the age of 20 years. Teenagers and young adults aged 14 -19 years of age are the group second most at risk from meningococcal disease, therefore, the information contained on this site is important to you and your students.

Most of us are poorly informed about meningitis, its symptoms, treatment and after-effects. This website is designed by the Meningitis Trust Education Team to help you improve your background knowledge and apply that knowledge in the classroom or through school management.

The site also offers you an opportunity of using some ready-made lesson and project topics which will help you incorporate meningitis and its surrounding issues into the curriculum – particularly in PSHE, Citizenship, Media Studies and Science at Key Stages 3 & 4.
