Medical Needs: Parents/carers of children with long-term medical needs are encouraged to have a discussion with the Medical Welfare Officer prior to booking onto a residential trip. The Academy accepts no liability in the event that medical conditions/medication are not declared/re-declared at the point of booking. Parents/carers should make no assumptions that medical information has been shared from previously attended schools or third parties, e.g. the school nursing team.
Parents/carers are reminded that if your child has a medical condition which requires medication, they should bring this with them on the trip. For example, those pupils with asthma and/or severe allergies, please make sure they have their inhalers and/or adrenaline auto-injectors with them, along with any antihistamines they may need.
