What would you do
What would you do if.
Your child came home from there first day back at school. They came home with a bag given to them by a teacher. When you looked in the bag you find it contained a tub of Pills (Medication) not belonging to anyone in your family.

Re: What would you do
i would be straight down to the school with the bag demanding to know what was going on, maybe the tub of medication was given to the child by accident and belonged to another child in the school (god i must be ill, i'm being reasonable)

Re: What would you do
I would immediately contact the school. There will be another child who needs that medication and hasn't got it and whose parents have probably rung up asking where it is.

Re: What would you do
It shouldn't happen and obviously some sort of human error is involved and somebody is going to get in serious bother at the school but I don't think there's anyone ever lived who never made a mistake. (waits for somebody to say "What about Jesus?")

Re: What would you do
The School was informed as soon as it was possible to do so.
They do not know who's medication it is/was. they have advised to throw it away. This was in a bag along with other items for the child (presents from end of term) It would seem that this has slipped in as it is unknown who's it is. The childs age was 6 who the bag was given to. Im just in two minds how far to take this. Yes mistake are made as its only human, but to give a bag to a child aged 6 without checking whats inside it is a bit naughty.

Re: What would you do
the medication should not have been in school without the childs(whoever it DID belong to) name on it anyway

Re: What would you do
medicines should be kept away from the children and only handled by a qualified person (usually the first aider) the medicine should be logged every day and the paperwork/ permission slips should be signed daily by a parent and also by the staff member the gives/supervises the child taking the medication..
Whats puzzling me is that the bottle doesnt have a name on it. Schools cannot give children medicine that isnt prescribed and children arent allowed to look aftertheir own medicine ( in case of overdose) the only way you can get round that is for the parent to go in and give medicines such as paracetamol which wouldnr be left in school anyway(there still needs to be a record of this to cover the school if the child is unwell or the child gets worse and has to go to hospital, staff need a record of medications) Someone has really messed up here. I would make and appointment with the head teacher.

However, back to the plot - very strange indeed that the medication did not have a name on. Was it something you can buy over the counter? Could it perhaps belong to a teacher or other member of staff who isn't owning up to having lost it? I think I would want to follow up on this and find out where it came from and be assured that it is not going to happen again.

Re: What would you do
your not allowed to take medication into school without it being prescribed willow, as Emma and i have said, it has to have the childs name on it or the school will not accept it, you cant take in anything bought over the counter

And I really can't see them giving the child the tablets to give back to the parents Seems very strange Normal practise would be to go and get the parents/carer ad hand them directly to them But the no name thing on the bottle is confusing I would certainly take it as far as needed to make someone listen and get an explanation
