In order for schools to administer paracetamol to pupils, the written consent of parents and carers is required. The school will hold a supply of 500mg paracetamol. By completion of the consent reply slip below we will administer paracetamol between 12.40 – 13.10 daily if required for the following reasons: in the event of a headache, toothache, period pain or any type of mild to moderate pain. We will ask the pupil whether they have self-medicated at any time since attending school on the day, to ensure that no medication is given within a 4-hour period under NHS guidelines.
