Please state who is the authorised prescriber of the medication, their role and contact details.

• Schedule medication outside care/school hours wherever possible
• Be specific: As needed is not sufficient direction for staff members—they need to know exactly when medication is required
• Nominate the simplest method. For example: Oral or ‘puffer’ medication is much easier to arrange than a nebuliser
• Young children (e.g. junior primary age) are supervised when they take their oral/puffer medication
• Wherever possible, safe self-management is encouraged.

Hunter Christian School:

• Accept only medication which has been ordered by a doctor and is provided in the original, fully labelled pharmacy container
• Do not monitor the effects of medication as staff have no training to do this
• Are instructed to seek emergency medical assistance if concerned about a person’s behaviour following medication
• Do not administer panadol or over the counter medication
