We would hope a formal discussion would help resolve any disagreements but if this does not work then we have a Complaints Procedure to cover any disagreements.
Medication is given to children upon completion of form completed by parents which will include all details: giving the child's name, type of medication, amount to be administered and timings. All medication would be checked by the administering member of staff to ensure that the correct name, details of amount to be administered and that the medication is within date.
Complaints would be made under the Complaints Policy a summary of which is displayed in the Reception area and a copy is on the School's webbsite.
