Medication, allergies and health needs in early years

This self-assessment helps you think about your confidence with medication, allergies and health needs in an early years setting. It supports learning and discussion. It does not prove competence and does not replace formal training, supervision, observation, employer checks, professional judgement or local policy. Follow your employer policy at all times. If you score 1 or 2 on any statement, review your setting’s medicines procedures and speak with your manager or relevant senior person before carrying out medicine-related tasks independently.
