Administration of Medicines
The administration of prescribed medicines is at the discretion of the Manager.
In order to assist staff involved in the observation of safe practices, I should be grateful for your full co-operation as follows:
- BOSS will never give the first dose of any new medication. Parents/Carers must do this.
- Attend a meeting that I shall arrange to discuss the details.
- Complete the parent/carer request from (Form Above) and pass to me with the medicine.
- Share and discuss your child’s achievements, experiences, progress and friendships.
- Ensure that the prescribed medicine container is clearly labelled with
- A prescription label
- The name of your child
- The name of the medicine
- The dosage and time
- Please note that oral information will not be accepted.
- Provide not more than one week’s supply of medicine at one time.
- If your child is prone to epileptic attacks it is essential that you inform me of the appropriate emergency treatment which should be given.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter.
Yours for and on behalf of
Blairdardie Out of School Service
Audrey Edmonds
Manager
