* Please note all children with known medical conditions are required to have a “HEALTH CARE PLAN”
This must be completed on the school website under Parents>Health & Medication >Health Care Plan
* Health Care Plans for asthma are only required if the pupil is on medication.
Our medical policy allows us to administer medicine prescribed by your child's doctor. We are not able to administer over the counter medication.
An ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION FORM will need to be completed for any medicines held in school. This must be completed on the school website under Parents>Health & Medication >Administration of Medication Form. All medication will be held in the office and administered at an agreed time.
G - EMERGENCY CONSENT
Occasionally it is not possible to contact a parent when a child requires hospital treatment during school hours. In such cases, it will be necessary for a member of staff to accompany the child to hospital. The school will continue to try and contact a parent.
In the event of my child requiring emergency medical treatment and the Headteacher (or his representative) being unable to contact me, I give consent for the member of staff accompanying my child to approve the application of any emergency treatment including anaesthetic advised by the medical authorities for the wellbeing of my child.
