Consent to administer medication

Medication should only be taken in school when it is essential, and where not to do so would be detrimental to a child’s health. Whenever possible medication should be taken at home.

For the school to administer medication, the parent or carer must first provide consent. This consent is required for:

• Paracetamol/calpol  for minor illnesses.
• Prescribed medication by a doctor, dentist, nurse prescriber or pharmacist and can not be administered at home (e.g. to be given 4 times a day).

To provide this consent please complete the form below.
