Medications: EYFS error
Quote:
Important clarification of the Early Years Foundation Stage
The EYFS (statutory framework booklet, page 26) states that prescribed medicines should be kept in a locked, non-portable container. This is incorrect. Medicines which may be needed quickly in an emergency should not be locked away. We would be grateful if, in their work with settings, local authorities could make practitioners aware of this error. Further information will be posted on the Teachernet website.
