Student Medical Condition Management
Student Medical Condition Management Plans live on Compass
Dear parents and carers,
You may remember that we were changing our process on the systems and record management for Student Medical Condition Management Plans.
All existing managements plans have now all been uploaded and attached to Compass and are visible to parents and NHS staff only. This will make the yearly update and management of these plans easier for families, and also support First Aid management.
The post is pinned to stay at the top of a students profile and the post looks like this:
If your child has a management plan, you should have received an email and text during the term with a prompt to review the post and check the information it is up to date. Thank you to all families who have been checking and responding so prompting.
During Term 3, our first aid officer will follow up with families who are yet to check off on their child’s management plan. Moving forward, the annual checking of plans will occur with an email and text being sent to families in Term 1 to check pre-existing plans are accurate and up to date.
