School being a bit casual with regards to dd inhaler and assuming she will ask for it.

[Snowmaggedon]

I've tried to explain this strange thing my dd gets to me the school and obviously it's not sunk in.
I asked them to the other day to give her the inhaler at lunch and they didn't. My dd asked a staff member and they didn't give it.

It's super rare for dd to proactively ask for it as she's not asmatic. It's a strange thing that's happened twice when she's gone down hill fast and immediate rushed through to a and e and strait on nebs and steroids.

How do I make it clear she won't ask usually they need to give it... If I've asked for them too

They may insist but there is no good reason to do so.

Well I certainly don’t ask a child to lift up their top and show me their stomach without someone else present! And I had to do it today as child had suspected chickenpox.

Is her inhaler in date if you use it so sparingly?

While there is a lot of confusion and ad hoc arrangements when there should be a clear plan in place, them refusing her her inhaler when she asked for it it's really not ok.

Can you prepare a information booklet for the school to read? When DS and DD started nursery I sent in a mini information pack about them for the staff to read and sign. It included information on their personality and likes and hates. I even included my email address in case they had any questions or concerns. There should be a nurse. Does she have a care plan or not?
My son’s medication is outlined on his care plan. A care plan needs to include all relevant information.
You can find templates online to use. Your next step is to politely ask for a meeting with the school to discuss your concerns. Calmly tell them what happened with her essential medication. Don’t get emotional.

My son does the exact thing you describe.. he get a cold /cough and within half a day is in hospital on nebs and oxygen.
We did this twice and is now on the brown inhaler morning and night. Maybe revisit your gp?
As for the school I've written a detailed plan of what to look for and what to do depending on what they see ie coughing and wheezing 2 puffs 10 breaths each then call me. If they find him and his tummy is pulling in then it's ambulance 10 puffs 10 breaths each and then call me.. he gets that poorly very quickly..
You have to document it all down as the teachers and TAs can't be expected to know all the details
Hope all is well

If you can't look at a child's tummy without another adult present how come they are able to wipe my DD's bottom with only one adult?

It's not exactly hard to find another adult to look at a child's tummy anyway, is it?

Well.. at my school adults are often on their own (ie only adult) in a class so should they take the whole class to go and find another adult?... who may also be on their own with their class.....

It’s a bit odd that the parents of a child with clearly very severe breathing problems haven’t been advised by their doctor to set up a care plan with the school. All the asthmatic children at our school ask for their inhalers when needed TBH.... we only have one child with such severe problems but he is 6 so older than OPs daughter and definitely comes to me and asks for his inhaler.

Your school obviously has a different personal / intimate care policy to the ones I’ve worked in.
