Purpose of the Healthcare Needs Policy

At our school, we are committed to supporting pupils with healthcare needs so that they can attend school safely, participate fully in learning, and achieve their potential. The Healthcare Needs Policy explains how we work with parents, carers, healthcare professionals and staff to ensure that appropriate medical support is in place for pupils who require it. It outlines the procedures for sharing information, administering medication, responding to medical emergencies, and meeting individual healthcare needs while promoting pupils' wellbeing, safety and inclusion.
