The administering of medicine to a child is the responsibility of the parent. If the parent is unavailable during the day, then a medical form must be completed, giving permission for a member of office staff to administer the medicine. All medicines must be sent into the school office in the original container and should not be decanted into another container. Medicines MUST NOT be kept by the pupil. The medicine must clearly state the child's name and the exact dosages and timing required as well as the name of the medicine. Should the dosage of the medicine change, a new permission form will be required. A Medicine Log is kept in the school office and must be signed by the parent at the end of the school day when the medicine is collected. A member of trained staff will administer the medicine if absolutely necessary and another member of staff will sign to show they have witnessed it.
