Children with Medical Needs

At the beginning of each school year we are required to provide the School Nursing Service with a list of pupils’ names for whom a Care/Health Plan is being maintained.

Please note that it is the responsibility of parents to provide school with a copy of their child’s health plan and to ensure that any medication the child may require (eg EpiPens, inhalers etc) is sent to school, updated regularly and labelled clearly.

Should your child’s medical needs dictate that he/she may require the school to administer medication during the school day a consent form must be signed by the parent.

Please complete the reply slip and return to school. Consent forms, if required, are available from school and, when completed, should be brought to school by the parent.
