A multiple-methods study of the SKCIN Sun Safe Schools international programme 2012–23: promoting sun safety and empowering behavioural change in primary education
The SKCIN SSS programme has promoted sun safety in primary schools for over 10 years, reaching approximately 845 000 children. These findings emphasize its utility in engaging students in sun-safe behaviours and raising awareness. Integrating a mandated sun-safe policy in all schools and ensuring ongoing adherence will provide vital education to help reduce skin cancer and mitigate the burden of cost to the National Health Service.
