Illness And Medicines In School
ILLNESS IN SCHOOL
If your child is taken ill in school or has an accident, you will be contacted. For this reason it is vital that if you change your address or telephone number, or work details, you let us know immediately.
MEDICINE IN SCHOOL
The administration of medicines is primarily the responsibility of parents and carers. Wherever possible, medicine should be given to children before or after school, but if a child needs to take medicine during the day, parents are welcome to come into school and administer it. Pupils should not keep medication in their pockets/bags. Our Medicine at School Policy gives details of the procedures in place should prescribed medication need to be administered by staff.
Asthma If your child suffers from asthma, a named inhaler and clear written instructions relating to its use must be provided. Inhalers are kept in the classrooms and children have access to their inhaler at any time they may need them. |
