Medication and Illness

Medicine 

  • Under certain circumstances the Cylch Meithrin staff may administer medicine to a child. 
  • The Cylch Meithrin Medication Policy and the guidance in the Operational Plan (template available to members on the intranet) must be followed.
  • All medicine must be stored in accordance with the Cylch's Medication Policy. 
  • A record must be made of every request for administration and every time medicine is administered.
  • If the Cylch needs to dispose of any medication, you should follow the policy and keep a record on a Medicine Destruction form.

Child and Adult Illness 

  • Child illness arrangements should be agreed between parents/guardians and the Cylch Meithrin at the beginning of the child's period in the cylch through arrangements set out in the contract between the Cylch Meithrin and the parents.
  • Staff should follow the procedure in the Operational Plan.
  • In some circumstances a child must be kept away from the cylch in order to prevent the spread of infection. See HSE Guidance on Infection Control 
  • Certain illnesses must be reported to Public Health Wales. See the NHS publication Preventing and Managing Infections.

Examples of the Operational Plan, the Medicine Policy, Request to administer Medicine to a Child, Medicine Destruction and the Contract between the Cylch Meithrin and Parents are available to members on the Mudiad Meithrin intranet.
