💊 Medication

Consent, each dose given, and the parent’s signature at hand-over and collection — the paper form, kept here instead.

What our Medication policy v1.0 requires, and this page enforces. Written permission for each and every medicine, for that brand at that dose — if either changes, it needs a new record. A senior member of staff gives it and a second member of staff checks the child, the medicine and the dose. The parent is asked when it was last given before nursery, and signs twice: at hand-over and at collection. A refusal is recorded.
This page records what was consented to and what was done. It never decides whether something may be given.
