Medical procedures survey

What's your school's policy on giving medicines to children, and undertaking medical procedures?
Trade union Unison is conducting a survey after receiving a growing number of enquiries from school staff with concerns about the administration of medicine and the undertaking of other medical procedures.
Schools should be making sure that children and young people with medical needs receive the best possible care and that staff are trained and able to deliver it, says Unison.
"UNISON would like to know if school policies are being deployed effectively or if support staff are being asked to administer medicines or perform medical procedures inappropriately, with risks to pupils and themselves."
The survey which can be completed anonymously will close on April 27.
