In the event of a child becoming ill, having an accident or seizure in school, the Head or Depute Head or Principal Teacher will decide on the action to be taken.  Every effort will be made to contact the parents or emergency contact to inform them of the situation.

Should hospital treatment be required, an ambulance will be called and a member of staff will accompany the pupil, and remain there until the parent arrives.  Any special instructions or procedures should be notified in writing to the Head.

Minor accidents which cannot be dealt with at the school by First Aiders, will be dealt with at the local surgery if possible.  Parents will be fully informed.

It’s essential that you let us know of any particular medical conditions or requirement(s) your child might have.  Written parental consent is also required for the administration of medicines.

Please let the school/centre know of any change in your contact information, any change in a child’s medical condition and of arrangements we should make should your child become ill, or need to be taken home.
