SCL Health and Safety Policy 24-25

• PEEPs (Personal Emergency Evacuation Procedure) • Transport and Trips

We also suggest including how performance will be measured within that section

SCL will ensure that children and learners with medical conditions can participate fully in the curriculum and enjoy the same opportunities as any other child or learner, and that appropriate adjustments and extra support are provided. All staff are aware that children and learners should not be forced to take part in activities if they are unwell. They should also be aware of children and learners who have been advised to avoid/take special precautions during activity, and the potential triggers for a child’s or learners medical condition when exercising and how to minimise these. Staff will ensure that children and learners have the appropriate medication, equipment and food with them during physical activity. No members of staff are obliged to give, or oversee the giving of, medication to children and learners. Only the staff who are authorised and trained in the giving of medication are authorised to give or oversee the taking of medication. Staff will only oversee the administration of medicines prescribed by a qualified medical practitioner or nurse consultant. SCL will never accept medicines that have been taken out of the container as originally dispensed nor make changes to dosages on parental instructions. SCL arrangements for administering medication are in line with the government guidance in Supporting Pupils at School with Medical Conditions. All staff are responsible for: • Knowing the arrangements and following the SCL’s procedures; • Knowing how to call for help in an emergency (this includes temporary and support staff); and • Reporting any problems to the person appointed to support children’s or learners with medical conditions and oversee the administration of medication.
