Consent to administer medication

Form from: Low Moor C.E. Primary School

Dear parent/carer,

Consent to administer medicine

The school only administers medicines that have been prescribed by a healthcare professional or doctor that need to be taken four times a day.

The school will not give your child medication unless you complete and sign this form as permission to administer.

Medicines must be labelled with the child's name, be in the original container and should be handed into a member of staff at the school office.

Medicine cannot be administered to your child until this completed form has been received.

Paper copies of all our documents are available via the school office, however we strongly encourage that this form is completed online.

Thank you for your support.
