Parents/Carers have prime responsibility for their child’s health and should provide the school with full information about their child’s medical needs. To support the process of administering medicines we ask that parents give full details of the medicine required and a written consent statement for us to administer the medication.
Any medication needed by your child at Ullswater should be handed over to Mrs Mosley, Mr Lovatt or Crew Leader on Tuesday morning. This should be in a clear zip bag or container with your child’s name on the front. All medication must be in date and in the original packing.
Details required:
- Child’s name
- Name of medication
- Storage requirement
- Method of administration
- Dosage
- Time/frequency of administration
- Possible side effects
- Any special instructions, eg taken with food or conditions when it should be administered if it is not a prescription drug.
Please also include a signed statement of consent (hand written is fine):
“I give my consent for a member of XPG staff to administer the enclosed medication. I understand that XPG staff are not qualified practitioners but that they will take care in the administration of the medication and will endeavour to respond appropriately should emergency treatment be required.“
