Lost controlled medication!

[mummybug355]

My child had their first settling in session today and I'm feeling so failed already and worried about how secondary education is going to go.
I'm so angry as well. They are on ADHD medication that is a controlled drug it was handed into reception this morning and they failed to give it to them and failed to check up on it when they mentioned to a teacher that they weren't given any. Upon talking to a teacher they have failed to find the meds and have no idea where it has gone. Who does this need reporting to? This is a class B drug without a prescription and they have no idea where it is! On day one I'm so scared about how failed my child will be if this is the start

I’ve worked at 4 schools and 2 were behind a screen and 2 weren’t. I would expect them to be locked up but straight away but it sounds like these haven’t followed protocol so could be anywhere. Settling in days are always busier which will probably be their excuse, but at the same time the policies are created so that mistakes don’t happen on the busier days when things are more chaotic.

Terrifying a child could have potentially got hold of them. I’d rather an adult stole them rather than that!
