Health and Medical
Medication
If your child/ren require any medication including non prescription, herbal or homoeopathic to be administered while at the centre then please provide the medication to a staff member in its original container, which show:
- your childs name
- the dosage to be given and
- the use by or expiry date of medication
Medical & Health Issues
To ensure your child/ren's health is considered and to protect child/ren and all the other children and staff at the centre from infection, various procedures are in place.
All children suffer from a variety of conditions that may mean it is inappropriate for them to attend the centre. Conditions may include physical injuries, non-specific illnesses as well as specified infectious diseases.
Your child/ren may not attend the centre when suffering from a condition which precludes them from participating reasonably in the centre program.
You are required to continue to pay fees for any period during which your child/ren is/are withdrawn from the centre. A medical certificate will provide credit for after the first 3 days absent.
Infectious diseases - The Centre Director will inform you, as soon as practicable, if she/he becomes aware of any outbreak of a specified infectious disease which may affect or is likely to affect the children of staff at the centre.
Emergency Assistance
If your child/ren has/have been injured or is/are ill while at the centre and if the Director thinks it is necessary you may need to arrange urgent medical or dental care from a doctor
an ambulance for your child/ren and/or for your child/ren to be taken to hospital.
If any of these things occur, the centre Director will make reasonable effort to contact you as soon as possible.
