All fire related incidents must be written up in an Incident Report and reported centrally to the Facilities Manager. Records should always be made in pen, so they cannot be edited or erased.

Staff Ratios

Our high staff to child ratios allow us to safely and efficiently evacuate the centre as our staff are able to manage small groups of children, with one of the managers coordinating an evacuation. Evacuation Exits and Routes

The managers will ensure these routes are always clear from obstruction, well-lit and lead directly to a point of safety with a clear path to the Evacuation Meeting Point.

Assisting Disabled Children or Staff in a Centre Evacuation

Upon enrolment at the centre, a Manager will discuss any additional needs a child may have with the parent/guardian, or with the staff member directly, and assess if extra procedures need to be put in place for them in the event of an evacuation.

Where applicable, a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) will be developed by the manager in consultation with the parent/guardian or staff member. The plan will include details of the action to take in the event of an evacuation and will outline the requirements of the disabled person e.g. ability to independently reach the safety of a protected escape route or exit, or if require support from staff.

Should the centre be based on the second floor, and the lift is out of use in the event of an emergency evacuation, a disabled child or staff member will have access to an evacuation chair, which trained members of staff will use to safely evacuate the child out of the centre and to the Evacuation Meeting Point, as outlined in their PEEP.

If staff feel that a child may be at additional risk from harm, they may not share this information with the parent/guardian, and instead contact the relevant external authority for advice and guidance on how best to escalate a concern. Axis Educational Trust staff will review the child’s behaviour with the parent/guardian and the child and agree the best course of action. Axis Educational Trust reserves the right to exclude a child from an Axis Educational Trust centre at any time. Parents/guardians are informed of this right in the Membership Handbook they are given when they join Axis Educational Trust.

POLICY FOR THE STORAGE, HANDLING & ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICINE/TREATMENT

Axis Educational Trust is committed to bringing educational opportunities and benefits to as many children as possible including those with disabilities, special additional needs, special educational needs, and medical needs.

Whilst Axis Educational Trust has a general policy of not administering any medication to children whilst they are in an Axis Educational Trust centre, Axis Educational Trust recognises that certain children, in certain circumstances, might require the administration of a specific medication or treatment in a life-threatening situation. This includes children with life threatening allergies. In such situations with the following information and written permission from the child’s parents/guardians, a First Aid trained member of staff will administer the necessary medication or treatment.

Should staff need to administer the necessary medication or treatment to a child in an emergency or life- threatening situation, the parent/guardian are required to provide:

• •A full written description of the medication/treatment required on an ‘Emergency Medication and Treatment Permission Form’ to include: type, name and strength of medication, how the medication should be stored, the dose required, the time and location that medication should be administered and any other relevant information.
• •A relevant medical history for the child in question with the following information: the name of the child’s GP with the address and telephone number of their GP’s surgery.
• •Signed parental/guardian consent on the ‘Emergency Medication and Treatment Permission Form’, giving permission for a First Aid trained member of staff to administer the named medication or treatment should the need arise. The completed form must be stored in the First Aid & Medicine Folder for easy access.
• •Any medication required as per the child’s medical needs. The parent/guardian is responsible for providing in- date medication and the disposal of out of date medication. Medication must be stored out of reach from children in the centre Medicine Box and must be clearly labelled with the child’s name and dosage required in a zip lock bag along with a copy of the completed ‘Emergency Medication and Treatment Permission Form’.
• •Any medication provided by the parent/guardian must be signed in/out of the centre using a Handling Medication Form. Parent/guardians should be advised where possible to provide spare medication to be kept permanently on site, and recorded on the Long Term Storage of Medicine Tracker.

In addition, should the administration of the named medication/treatment require specific training:

• •The parent/guardian should either give all First Aid training members of staff the necessary training or arrange for the necessary training to be given.
• •A record of these training events will be kept. It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to ensure that full-time staff are kept up to date with the relevant training to administer the child’s medication or treatment in a life- threatening situation.
• •When any new First Aid trained member of staff joins the centre team, the Centre manager will notify the relevant parent/guardian to arrange for the new member of staff to be appropriately trained. Axis Educational Trust will:
• •Keep an up to date list of children with severe allergies or life-threatening medical conditions, on display in the office, so all staff know which children are at risk.
• •Ensure the safe storage of such medicines or life-saving equipment in a clean hygienic storage box in the office out of reach of children. A small fridge can be supplied if medicine requires refrigeration.
• •Ensure each medicine is clearly labelled with the child’s name and dosage requirements.
• •Ensure Emergency Medication and Treatment Permission Forms are kept in the First Aid & Medicine Folder for easy access. A copy should be stored with the medication in the Medicine Box, and will be referred to before any medication is given. A copy may be kept in the child’s file.
• •Contact the parent/guardian of the child should any life-threatening situation arise.
• •Ensure that any medication administered is recorded on an Individual Administration of Medicine Form with the following information:

• 2.The full name of the child being given the medication
• 3.Information about the child’s medical condition and confirmation that staff have permission to administer medication
• 4.The medication administered: name, type, dosage and method of administration
• 5.Any notes of observations
• 6.The full name and signature of the staff member administering the medication
• 7.The parent/guardian should also sign the record on collecting the child.
