It ensures that medication is only given with proper authorisation and in accordance with medical instructions. The policy outlines staff responsibilities, training requirements, and accurate record-keeping to prevent errors and ensure accountability. Clear guidance is provided for managing controlled drugs, refusals, errors, and adverse reactions. By following this policy, the organisation promotes safe practice, safeguards children’s wellbeing, and ensures compliance with legal and regulatory requirements while maintaining the highest standards of care.
