Medical Needs
Prescription and non-prescription medicines will only be administered at school:
-
When it would be detrimental to the pupil’s health or school attendance not to do so and
-
Where we have parents’ written consent (see forms below).
We have given our forms 'friendly names' so they are easier to interpret.
-
Form A: Pupil self-administration (kept in the pupil's bag) - inhalers, epi-pens, insulin pens / pumps.
-
Form B: Help me administer my prescription medication - for when your child may need help with their prescription medicine.
-
Form C: Pupil self-administration (secure storage) - for when your child's medicine needs to be stored securely on school site.
Please see below for our Trust policy on supporting children with medical conditions.
