Welcome to Warwickshire County Council

A number of children will require medication whilst at school, due to their specific medical condition. They should not be refused admission, excluded or denied access to the curriculum or participation in extra curriculum activities or school trips and visits because of their medical condition.

The Schools Health Directory has a detailed section on "Medication in Schools", which gives advice and guidance on all aspects of arrangements for medication in schools. The Schools Health Directory can be found on the Warwickshire County Council Website at www.warwickshire.gov.uk/healthdirectory

Information can also be obtained from the DCFS "Managing Medicine in Schools and Early Years Settings"
