Common Serious Medical Conditions a. All staff at Kensington Primary School are aware of the most common serious medical conditions at our school. b. Staff at our school understand their duty of care to pupils in the event of an emergency. In an emergency situation school staff are required under common law duty of care to act like any reasonable parent. This may include administering of medication. c.

Our school has procedures in place so that a copy of the pupils Healthcare Plan is sent to the emergency care setting with the pupil. 8. Emergency Procedures a. All staff know what action to take in the event of a medical emergency. This includes: how to contact emergency services and what information to give (see appendix 6) who to contact within the school 4
5 b. Training is refreshed for all staff at least once a year c. Action to take in a general medical emergency is displayed in prominent locations for staff. These include classrooms, the staff room, and food preparation areas and sporting facilities. d. If a pupil needs to be a taken to hospital, a member of staff will always accompany them and will stay with them until a parent arrives. Our school tries to ensure that the staff member will be one the pupil knows. e. Generally, staff should not take pupils to hospital in their own car. North Beckton has clear guidance from the local authority on when (and if) this is appropriate. 9. Administration of Medication Administration- emergency medication a. All pupils at our school with medical conditions have access to their emergency medication. b. Pupils who do not carry and administer their own medication know where their medication is stored and how to access it. c. Pupils who do not carry and administer their own medication understand the arrangements for a member of staff (and the reserve member of staff) to assist in helping them take their medication safely. Administration - general a. All use of medication defined as a controlled drug, even if the pupil can administer the medication themselves, is done under the supervision of a named member of staff at the school. b. The school understands the importance of medication being taken as prescribed. c. All staff are aware that there is no legal or contractual duty for any member of staff to administer medication or supervise a pupil taking medication unless they have been specifically contracted to do so. d. Many members of staff are happy to take on the voluntary role of supervising a pupil taking medication. For medication where no specific training is necessary, any member of staff may administer prescribed and non-prescribed medication to pupils under the age of 16, but only with the written consent of the pupil s parent/carer. See Appendix 2. e. Training is given to staff members who agree to administer medication to pupils, where specific training is needed. The local authority provides full indemnity. f. All school staff have been informed through training that they are required, under common law duty care, to act like a reasonable parent/carer in an emergency situation. This may include taking action such as administering medication. g. In some circumstances, medication is only administered by an adult of the same gender as the pupil, and preferably witnessed by a second adult. h. Parents/Carers at the school understand that if their child s medication changed, is discontinued, or the dose or administration method changes, that they should notify the school immediately. 5
6 i. If a pupil at the school refuses their medication, staff record this and follow procedures. Parents/Carers are informed as soon as possible. j. If a pupil at the school needs supervision or access to medication during home to school transport organised by the local authority, properly trained escorts are provided. All drivers and escorts have the same training as school staff, know what to do in a medical emergency and are aware of any pupil in their care who has specific needs. If they are expected to supervise or administer emergency medication they are properly trained and have access to the relevant Individual Healthcare Plan. k. All staff attending off-site visits are aware of any pupils with medical conditions on the visit. They receive the information about the type of condition, what to do in an emergency and any additional support necessary, including any additional medication or equipment needed as well as the Individual Healthcare Plan. l. If a trained member of staff, who is usually responsible for administering medication, is not available, the school makes alternative arrangements to provide the service. This is always addressed in the risk assessment for the off-site activities. m. If a pupil misuses medication, their own or another pupil s, their parents are informed as soon as possible. These pupils are subject to the school s usual disciplinary procedures. 10. Storage of Medication a. Emergency medication is readily available to pupils who require it at all times during the school day or at off-site activities. If the emergency medication is a controlled drug and needs to be locked up, the keys are available and not held personally by members of staff. b. All non-emergency medication is kept in a secure lockable cupboard in a cool dry place. Pupils with medical conditions know where their medication is stored and how to access it. c. Staff ensure that medication is only accessible to those for whom it is prescribed. d. There is an identified member of staff who ensures the correct storage of medication at school. e. All controlled drugs are kept in a locked cupboard and only named staff have access, even if pupils normally administer the medication themselves. f. Three times a year the identified member of staff checks the expiry dates for all medication stored at school. g. The identified member of staff, along with the parents of pupils with medical conditions, ensure that all emergency and non-emergency medication brought into school is clearly labelled with the pupil s name, the name and dose of the medication. h. All medication is supplied and stored, in its original container, with the original dispensing label from the pharmacy or hospital. April
