A DVD advising children about tackling swine flu has been launched at a Birmingham school which was hit by an outbreak of the virus in May.

Nearly 200 people connected to Welford Primary School in Handsworth were diagnosed with the virus including 44 people who were diagnosed in one week.

The DVD has guidance for both teachers and children.

It aims to inform children how to stop swine flu spreading and what to do should they become ill.

The DVD was produced by Birmingham City Council and the city's three primary care trusts and aims to raise awareness in "a fun and informative way".
