I need help with this question please (I don't currently work in childcare so finding it a little difficult):
What organisational policies and legal requirements for managing children who have allergies/anaphylaxis or asthma?
So far I have put:
National Regulation 92 - Medication record
National Regulation 93 - Administration of medication
National Regulation 94 - Exception to authorisation requirement -anaphylaxis or asthma emergency
National Regulation 95 - Procedure for administration of medication
National Regulation 90 - Medical conditions policy
National Regulation 91 - Medical conditions policy to be provided to parents
Health and Safety policy
Asthma and anaphylaxis policy
Confidentiality policy
Not too sure if these are correct and if there are others I may have missed?
Thank you in advance.
