Medication\u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

If your child is in need of medication during his\/her time at the centre you should discuss his\/her requirements with the Head of Centre\/Keyworker.\u00a0 Please note only medication prescribed <\/strong>by a doctor may be given and you will need to fill in a form which authorises the centre\u2019s staff to administer any medication to your child.\u00a0 The Head or Depute Head of the Centre will give you the necessary forms to complete.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If your child suffers from any condition which is ongoing or more serious e.g. asthma, epilepsy etc.\u00a0 Parents should meet with the keyworker and Head of Centre to discuss this in more detail.\u00a0 This helps us ensure we are best equipped to deal with your child and plan any training if required.\u00a0 An emergency action plan will be developed so that all staff are clear on the procedures in place.\u00a0 Every three months parents will be asked to confirm whether or not your child is still requiring medication.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If your Child becomes ill while at the Centre<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

If your child becomes ill while at the centre staff may feel it is more appropriate for your child to be at home.\u00a0 The parent\/carer will be contacted in the first instance, but then an emergency contact will be notified if the parent is not available.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are regulations governing the administration of medicines to children in Early Years Centre.\u00a0 It is best if you give any medicines personally outside the centre\u2019s hours.\u00a0 Where it is imperative that a child receives medication in the centre time please inform centre staff who will put the necessary procedures into operation.\u00a0 On no account should a child be allowed to carry medicines in the <\/strong>centre or have them in their bag.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
