Cinnamon Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Depends on the school & the children I think. At my daughters primary school they were not allowed to give the child medicine,so as Cleo has Hayfever, it meant I had to go to school 3 times a day to administer her eye & nose drops. Especially annoying as at 10 years old she could do it herself. Same with antibiotics,although I do know that you can request antibiotics that can be taken at better spaced intervals than 3 times a day now,lessening the need to go down to school to administer them. One school in the area asks that children on antibiotics stay at home until the complete course is finished,whatever the illness they have. Now Cleo is at secondary school,she is just going to take her meds in her bag to do herself. My older daughter carries Neurofen in her bag,& just takes it if she needs it, although we have a rule that if she has needed to take it then she must tell me when she gets home.

harveypup Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 At George's school they must have a signed letter stating how much to give and at what time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabbagepatch Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 We have "Forms to Fill Out". Permission for child to carry medicine. Permission for school to adminster medicine. Care Plans for those needing greater care. Whatever you choose to do, get it signed, preferably in triplicate and in blood Aforementioned forms then photocopied, one to go in Careplan Folder, a copy to go with child's medication if we hold it in the office, all teaching staff informed there maybe medical intervention needed. etc etc etc. Its a case of try and cover all eventualities.

Egluntyne Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Ta muchly..... I'd already looked at most of Revnevs suggestions. I'm just bone idle and wanted one handed to me on a plate. I'll plough through and pick the best bits and cobble them together as a draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
