Paracetamol Consent
It is our policy to give age-appropriate doses of paracetamol to secondary age children as described on the packet. We will only administer one tablet of 500mg at second break - 12.40 pm - to any pupil who visits the Welfare Office, in M Block. The Welfare Officer and Deputy Welfare Officer will check consent. Paracetamol may be administered by the Welfare Officer or Deputy Welfare Officer, who have received the required medical awareness training in the event of a headache, toothache, period pain or any type of mild to moderate pain (please see the Administering Paracetamol Policy attached). If you have not previously given us consent to administer paracetamol to your child since we introduced this revised policy last year, you can do this via the link below:
