Policies and Procedures
Medication rooted
Children may require medication to be administered:
Short term to treat a specific condition (such as finishing a in nature
course of antibiotics).
Long term (to treat conditions such as asthma).
In an emergency (to treat conditions such as epilepsy).
It is important that medication is included in any overall
assessment of the child's needs, and that appropriate support
with medication is included in care plans.
Our Medication Policy and the Care Inspectorate
‘Management of Medication in Daycare of Children’ document
provides guidance on administration, storage and record
keeping.
Infection Control
We take infection control very seriously and follow all official
guidelines to ensure a clean and safe environment for
everyone.
For detailed information on how we manage infection
prevention and control in our setting, we follow national
guidance provided by Public Health Scotland, Care
Inspectorate and NHS.
These documents are available online and form the basis of
our infection control practices.
