Medical Conditions

 

To ensure appropriate identification and management of children with medical

conditions, we will implement best practice and risk management strategies. 

This includes the provision of suitable first aid training for all staff to ensure a

rapid response in the event of a medical emergency. 

 

If your child has a medical condition, you may be asked to complete a

Medical Management Plan with your child’s teacher to be implemented in the

event of an incident relating to the specific health care need, allergy or relevant

medical condition.  If applicable, please discuss this with your child’s teacher

during the Enrolment Interview.

Medications

 

To ensure the safety of your child when medication needs to be administered, we ask that you are familiar with our medication administration procedures.  If your child needs medication during their time at this service, to ensure their safety it is expected the following requirements are followed:

 

  • All medication must be in its original packaging showing the medication name and expiry date as well as the recommended dosage instructions

 

  • All prescription medication must be clearly labelled by a pharmacist with your child’s name and date of birth, the required dose and frequency to be administered

 

  • All non-prescription medication must be clearly labelled by a pharmacist with your child’s name and date of birth, the required dose and frequency to be administered.  These directions must not vary from the recommended dosage

 

  • Medication is handed to staff upon arrival.  Medication is NOT to be left in your child’s bag!!

 

  • Medication Permission Form must be completed permitting staff to administer medication to your child while in the care of this service

 

  • If more than one oral medication is to be administered to your child in one day, a written letter or Medication Authority must be provided by the child’s doctor on the collective use of all medications.  This is to ensure the safe interactions of the medications when used together

 

  • If long-term medication is to be administered for a period greater than 14 days, a written letter or Medical Management Plan must be provided by your child’s doctor or pharmacist.
