KEY MESSAGES FROM WELFARE
Medical Conditions and Health Care Plans
If your child has a diagnosed medical condition, a Health Care Plan needs to be completed (if we have not got one already). It is important that the school are aware of any medical conditions.
If there are any changes to a child’s existing medical condition and/or a new medical condition emerges, parents/carers need to complete a new Health Care Plan.
If we do not receive a new or updated Health Care Plan, your child will be unable to attend school. If we do not receive medicine (as outlined in your child’s Health Care Plan), your child will be unable to attend school.
The Health Care Plans are available on the school website here.
Epi pens
If your child uses an epi-pen at school, please can you provide three epi-pens so that we can keep one in the lunch hall, classroom and welfare.
Inhalers
Please ensure that inhalers are kept in their original packaging with the child’s name and instructions. We also require an age appropriate spacer together with the inhaler.
Inhalers for children in the Junior School
If your child uses an inhaler, please can you provide a third inhaler so that we have a spare one available.
Medication
If your child is prescribed medication which has to be administered at school, please complete a consent form which can be found on the school website with clear instructions. It must come via the school office or alternatively, call Welfare tel: 0208 427 7222 Ext 2 and arrangements can be made to collect from outside the school office.
Any medical queries, please contact Mrs O’Rourke or Ms Goodspeed in Welfare.
Medical appointments during the day
And lastly a reminder about medical appointment. If your child has a medical appointment during the school day, please remember to email attendance@vaughan.harrow.sch.uk with the details and with proof of the appointment. Thank you.
