Supervised medication at school
Service outline:
Teachers and non-teaching staff may be requested to administer medication or supervise a pupil taking it. There is no legal requirement for teachers to administer medication. However, they are required to ensure the health and safety of all pupils in their care, which may therefore extend to administering medication in accordance with their school's policy.
