My understanding of the updated DfE guidance on medicines in school is that they should administer non prescribed medicine with parental consent. The BMA take a dim view of people taking up an appointment to obtain paracetamol that can be bought OTC and they are saying that the Government legislation allows for school to administer Calpol for example without a prescription. Our school are refusing in spite of their policy appearing to support the administration of non-prescription prescription medicine. I just wondered what other people's experiences are with this in their schools?
