MEDICAL INFORMATION


Student information Before starting at Hackney UTC, parents will be given student information forms, including a medical form, to complete. It is very important that you complete these forms and also keep us up-to-date if there are any changes to this information.


Allergies It is very important that we know about all allergies your child might have, however slight (plasters, nut allergies, wasp stings, asthma etc), so that your child receives the appropriate treatment.


Accidents, injuries and/or sickness


At Hackney UTC, the health, safety and welfare of students is of utmost importance. If students are injured at the UTC we will treat the injury if possible – and take appropriate medical steps. Students will be given an accident form to give to parents at the end of the day. All accidents are entered into an accident book. There may be times when the UTC needs to make contact with you either for permission to treat your child or because it is the UTC’s judgment that you need to check them yourself. In these cases the UTC will make every effort to contact parents as quickly as possible.


If your child feels unwell during the day we will contact you so that you can make any necessary arrangements to collect your child. Whilst you do so, we will ensure your child is kept as comfortable as possible.


Medicines


Staff are not permitted to administer medicines with the exception of paracetamol which is discussed with each parent and student at their first interview. With the exception of agreement with parents, students are not allowed to administer prescribed drugs themselves. All inhalers should be labelled with your child’s name and be carried by the child at all times. A second inhaler must be kept in the medical room as an emergency back-up. If a student needs a short-term course of medicine during the day, parents or carers must discuss this with Mr Steven Tomlinson, the Assistant Vice Principal, and give written permission for a nominated adult to administer the medicine. If your child requires long-term prescribed drugs, parents or carers should discuss this with the principal and complete a form giving a nominated person permission to administer them.
