Medication
If your child has been prescribed medication it should be
brought in the original container, clearly labelled with the child’s
name. Mum’s, Dad’s or Carers will be asked to complete a
consent form and then asked to sign another form at the end of
your child’s session to confirm when the staff have given your
child the medicine and at what time. The same procedure will
be followed for un-prescribed medicines.
