AUTHORITY FOR MEDICAL
TREATMENT
Day pupils:
No medical care will be given to any child unless
parental consent is provided.
Boarders & Flexi Boarders:
MUST BE COMPLETED FOR ALL BOARDING/FLEXI BOARDING PUPILS in order for us to provide full care for your child in all
circumstances.
CONSENT TO EMERGENCY
HOSPITAL TREATMENT
An emergency may arise
which makes it imperative for a child to receive treatment without delay. In these
circumstances, the hospital will always
attempt to contact the parents immediately whenever possible and ask for verbal
consent before an anaesthetic or treatment is administered.
IMMUNISATIONS
Your child’s
immunisations MUST comply
with the UK Childhood Immunisations Schedule which can be found on the
following website www.nhs.uk/Conditions/vaccinations/Pages/vaccination-schedule-age-checklist.aspx
I am aware that if my child is not immunised in accordance with the United Kingdom schedule they will be regarded as unprotected against certain infectious diseases and therefore at risk. If there is an outbreak of an infectious disease in the school my child will be sent to their guardian immediately in order to protect them from infection. I acknowledge that submitting this form demonstrates my agreement to this.
INFECTIOUS ILLNESSES
Diarrhoea and/or vomiting
Following an episode of diarrhoea and/or vomiting, pupils should be kept away from the School for a 48 hour period after the symptoms have ceased. The viruses that cause gastro-intestinal symptoms can remain infectious for 48 hours after the symptoms have resolved and therefore cross-infection remains a risk factor.
Temperature or fever
If your child's temperature is raised above 37.6 °C they should remain off school until they have had a normal temperature for 24 hours without the assistance of medication.
ACUTE MEDICAL
CONDITION/ILLNESS
MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Does your child have or has ever suffered from any
of the following?
Should a dental emergency arise no treatment will be
arranged without first contacting the parents/guardians.
MEDICATION
DO NOT SEND MEDICATION
WITH YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL UNLESS PRESCRIBED OR IS A NECESSARY OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATION REQUIRED FOR SEASONAL ALLERGIES. ALL MEDICATION WILL BE RETAINED BY THE HOUSE STAFF / SCHOOL NURSE UNTIL IT CAN BE TAKEN HOME AGAIN.
Prescribed medication must be in the original packaging with the original dispensing label attached and contain the patient information leaflet.
All medication will be kept and administered to the individual child by the School Nurse or other responsible Staff Member.
Parents will be required to complete a medication authorisation form when bringing any other medication in to school that is not listed on this form. Please, where practically possible hand medication to the House staff/School Nurse, do not give medication to your child to hand in.
Parents of Senior School pupils should contact the School Nurse to discuss administration.
The above information is, to the best of my knowledge, accurate at the time of completing the form. I give my consent to school staff administering the medication as described in this form and understand that submitting this form demonstrates that I agree to the conditions above.
PASTORAL INFORMATION
Please use the space
below to provide details regarding any issue that you feel may affect your
child’s emotional, physical or mental health. It is helpful for us to know
whether a child was born prematurely or had difficulties at birth, as this can
affect their development and learning skills. Also, if there are any family
issues i.e., long term ill health, step-families, adoption or recent deaths, it
is always beneficial for us to be made aware of these situations so we are able
to provide holistic and encompassing support for your child.
If you feel there is information that you would prefer only the School Nurse to be aware of, please indicate below.
DECLARATION
Information provided in this form will be shared with the academic staff if the School Nurse feels that it is appropriate to in supporting the health and well-being of your child. It is important that chronic medical conditions, allergies or any other health concerns, are shared with the academic staff so they can actively support your child and provide appropriate care.
I acknowledge this information and confirm that all of the information submitted in this form is true and accurate.
