Student Medical Requirements

We are required to have Individual Medical Response Plans for “all students with a known medical condition, short or long term, that:
• requires intervention i.e. the administration of medication or other support; and/or
• could lead to a medical emergency.”
 
The Medical Welfare of Students Policy states;
Parents/carers are responsible for informing schools of any medical issues, and ensuring students do not attend school if their health requires it. CECG policy is that students who are injured or unwell should be cared for at home by a parent or carer. If a student is unwell or injured at school, the school will contact parents/carers to request they pick up the student, unless the school considers the student can be provided adequate care at school.  Schools must keep up to
date and 
medically endorsed individual response plans for any children or young people with diabetes, anaphylaxis, epilepsy, and asthma. Schools should also keep medically endorsed individual response plans for any students with ongoing healthcare conditions that require intervention or could lead to medical emergencies.
