1 Acomb Primary School Administration of Medicines Policy Date of Policy: October 2016 Date Policy to be reviewed: October 2019 Signed: (Headteacher) Signed: (Chair of Governors)
2 Introduction Acomb Primary School is committed to reducing the barriers to participation in activities and learning experiences for all children. This policy sets out the steps which the school will take to ensure full access to learning for all children who have medical needs and are able to attend. Medicines should only be taken to school when essential and prescribed by a doctor; that is where it would be detrimental to a child s health if the medicine were not administered during the school day. There is no legal duty which requires school staff to administer medication; this is purely a voluntary role. We are led to believe by the Local Authority that, if staff follow documented procedures, they are fully covered by their employer s public liability insurance.* The school will ensure that staff receive proper support and training where necessary. The Headteacher or teacher in charge will decide when and how such training takes place, in their capacity as a line manager (Form 9). The school will access support and training via the agreed City of York pathways outlined in Appendix A of City of York Local Authority guidance (Jan 2009) Managing Medicines in York Schools, Early Years and Out of School settings. All practices and procedures referred to in this document reflect the collaborative agreement reached between City of York Council Learning, Culture and Children s Services, York Hospitals Foundation Trust, North Yorkshire and York Primary Care Trust, Teaching Unions and UNISON. The policy is based on the DfES 2005 (now DCSF) publication 'Managing Medicines in Schools and Early Years Settings,' updated in November This policy is available on the school s website and available, on request, in paper form. *The CYC Model Policy, upon which this is based, states this to be the case.
3 1. Prescribed Medicines Medicines should only be brought into school when essential. Where possible, parents/carers are encouraged to ask doctors to prescribe medication in dose frequencies which can be taken outside school hours. It is the responsibility of parents/carers to supply written information about the medication their child needs to take in school. Staff should check that any details provided by parents/carers are consistent with instructions on the container or on the consent form. Medicines will not be accepted anywhere in school without prior agreement of the Headteacher. Complete written and signed instructions from parent/carer are required (Form 3 and 4). Medicines must always be provided in the original container as dispensed by a pharmacist and handed directly to the Headteacher or to a nominated person authorised by the Headteacher. Each item of medication must include the prescriber s instructions for administration. Medicines that have been taken out of the container as originally dispensed will not be accepted. Parental requests for changes to dosages will not be actioned without receiving a new supply which is correctly labelled or a written request from the doctor. This will require an amendment to Form 3. Parents/carers or the child s doctor should provide the following details as a minimum: Name of child Name and strength of medication Dosage Time, frequency and method of administration Length of treatment Date of issue Expiry date Possible side-effects Storage details Other treatment Surplus or out-of-date medication will be returned to parent/carers for safe disposal. 1.b Creams & Drops If creams or drops (eye or ear) have been prescribed by a doctor, these will still need to be administered/applied by a parent/carer. 2. Controlled Drugs The school agrees in principle to the administration of controlled drugs (eg methylphenidate), provided that the correct procedures are followed, as outlined in this policy and in accordance with the Misuse of Drugs Act. The controlled drug will be kept in a locked non-portable container and only named staff will have access to it. A record will be kept for audit and safety purposes, as for other medication. Misuse of a controlled drug, such as passing it to another child for use, is an offence. If this occurs the Headteacher will inform parents and, where necessary, the police. 3. Non-prescribed Medicines Acomb Primary School discourages the use of non-prescribed medication and will not normally administer nonprescription, over the counter medicines. The administration of a non-prescribed medicine must 1 be in accordance with the school s policy, for which specific prior written agreement with parents is necessary (Form 3). 1 Throughout this document must refers to a legal/statutory duty.
4 If there is any doubt the medication must not be administered by a member of staff and the parent/carer informed. In the event that a medicine is administered, it is important to record the name of the pupil and the time and date when the medicine was taken by the child (Form 5). Paracetamol, in the form of a liquid suspension, is the only non-prescribed pain-relieving drug which is likely to fall into this category. Aspirin, Ibuprofen or any preparations containing these substances should not be given to children unless prescribed. For children who are at risk of severe anaphylaxis and for whom the school retains an epipen, an anti-histsamine (such as Piriton syrup) may be kept, but the school would expect this to have been prescribed by a doctor. Such a preparation should not be used for the remedy of any other allergy with seasonal hayfever, in particular, being addressed by parents outside school hours. 4. Self-Management/Administration Acomb School encourages children, where appropriate, to manage their own medication, under the supervision or with the knowledge of staff and following procedures laid out in their individual health care plan. This may include carrying their medication securely on their person, or collecting it from an agreed facility. The safety of other pupils will always be considered (Form 7). This also covers throat sweets (e.g. strepsils/lockets/soothers). If brought to school, the parent/carer must inform the class teacher at the start of the day. Parents are encouraged not to send whole packets of these to school, and to clearly label the packet with the child s name and class. Parents/carers will be asked to confirm in writing if they wish their child to carry their medication with them in school. Asthma inhalers will be kept within the classroom, in a designated container which is recognised by all staff and children concerned. A designated member of staff will take the container to other locations, for example, on school trips. 5. Short Term Medical Needs Medicines should only be brought to school when essential; that is where it would be detrimental to a child s health if the medicine were not administered during the school or setting day. In certain circumstances, for example completing a course of antibiotics, parents may apply to the Headteacher, using Form Long Term Medical Needs / Individual Health Care Plan Where there are long-term medical needs requiring medication, an Individual Health Care Plan will be completed, using Form 2. The school will liaise with the relevant health professional, such as the School Nurse, in the first instance. Consultation will also take place with parents and other relevant parties such as: Headteacher Child (if appropriate) Class Teacher Staff who are nominated to administer medicines Staff who are trained in emergency procedures Specialist teacher for Physical Disability/Medical needs Health professionals (when appropriate and in line with local agreement). In the case of long term medication, Acomb School will agree with parents/carers how often they should jointly review the individual health care plan. This will be at least once a year, or when circumstances change. In exceptional and/or complex cases, Emergency Treatment Plans will be initiated and written by health care professionals, then shared with the school. The named health professional will be contacted if an Emergency Treatment Plan has been actioned so that appropriate de-briefing can occur.
5 If there are any special religious and/or cultural beliefs which may affect any medical care that the child needs, particularly in the event of an emergency, this will be included in the individual health care plan (Form 2). 7. Dealing with medicines safely 7.1 Storage The school will ensure that all emergency medicines such as asthma inhalers are readily available to children and not locked away. Epipens will be stored, centrally in the School Office, clearly marked and readily accessible to staff members. Medicines are stored strictly in accordance with the product instructions (paying particular note to temperature and best before advice) and in the original container in which it was dispensed. Medicines which need to be refrigerated are kept in a refrigerator in the Staff Room. (NB Medicines can be stored in a refrigerator containing food provided they are in an airtight container and clearly labeled. There should be restricted access to a refrigerator storing medicines.) Children are told where their own medicines are stored and who to consult prior to use. Staff should be aware of the implications for safe storage of their own medicines. 7.2 Administration of Medicines No child can be given medication by staff employed by the school or setting, without their parent/carer s written consent. Staff giving medicines will routinely check 1. the child s name 2. prescribed dose 3. expiry date 4. written instructions provided by the medical prescriber. 7.3 Record Keeping The school will keep a record of medicines given to children and the staff involved (Forms 3, 4, 5 & 6). This will also apply to off-site activities, eg residential trips etc. A record will be kept of all medicines received, including quantity, even if they are not subsequently administered. 7.4 Refusing Medication If a child refuses their medication, staff will not force them to take it but will note it in the records. The school will provide parents/carers with details of when medication has been refused or has not been administered for any other reason, as soon as possible and definitely on the same day. If a refusal to take medicines results in an emergency, the Emergency Services will be contacted immediately. 8. Sporting Activities (see Form 1) The school will ensure staff are aware if a child requires medication as a precautionary measure before taking part in PE or other physical activity, along with any emergency procedures. Inhalers will routinely be taken to PE or other physical activity. Risk assessments will be carried out if considered necessary. If a child wears a MedicAlert (eg a bracelet or necklace to alert others to a specific medical condition in case of an emergency) it may be necessary to consider removing it temporarily in certain circumstances, if there is a risk that it could cause injury in games or practical activities. If temporary removal is agreed in the health care plan, staff will be aware of the significance of the MedicAlert and will keep it safe. 9. Educational Visits The school is aware of its responsibilities under the Disability Discrimination Act and will make every effort to continue the administration of medication to a child whilst on trips away from the school premises, even if additional arrangements are required.
6 Appropriate risk-assessments will be undertaken and agreed with the parent/carer. Arrangements for taking any necessary medicines will be considered. Staff will be made aware of children s medical needs, procedures for the administration of medication and relevant emergency procedures. Concerns about a child s safety or the safety of others will be discussed with parents/carers and advice sought from the health visitor, school nurse or the child s GP. 10. Home/school transport If supervision is necessary whilst travelling on Local Authority transport, this will usually be identified in the child s Statement of Special Educational Needs. Where appropriate and with parental agreement, individual health care plans will be shared with home-school transport escorts and respite care providers. 11. Disposal of Medicines Parents/carers are responsible for disposing of medicines safely. Parents/carers are requested to collect medicines held at the end of each term. A record will be made using Form 3 of all medicines returned to parents/carers. If parents/carers do not collect all medicines, they will be taken to the local pharmacy for safe disposal. A record of disposal will be made on Form Hygiene/Infection Control All staff are aware of basic hygiene precautions for avoiding infection, such as washing and drying hands before and after the administration of medicines. Staff will have access to protective, disposable gloves. Extra care will be taken when dealing with spillages of blood or other bodily fluids and when disposing of dressings or equipment. A sharps container will be used for needles, should this situation arise. Parents will be responsible for its provision, collection and disposal. 13. Training The school will ensure that staff receive proper support and training where necessary (recorded on Form 8). The headteacher will agree when and how such training takes place. The school will access support and training via the agreed City of York pathways. The school will work within the CYC 2009 policy, 'Managing Medicines in York Schools Early Years and Out of School Settings, when responding to the needs of children with common conditions such as, asthma, epilepsy, diabetes, anaphylaxis. General awareness raising provided through the Local Authority pathway will cover: The employer s policy on administration of medicines Tasks staff should not undertake Understanding labels and other instructions Administration methods eg tablets, liquids, ointments, eye drops, inhalers etc Infection control measures Side effects or adverse reactions to medicines and medical procedures and how to report this Recording the administration or failure to administer eg if a child refuses medicines How and when to contact the child s parent, GP, nurse etc Safe storage of medicines Disposal of waste materials Awareness of policies on infectious diseases Awareness of policies on admitting children with or recovering from illnesses Child specific training will be accessed via the agreed pathway. 14. Review The school will undertake to review this policy, annually, or in the light of any local or national recommendations.
