Medications for Allergy
For children requiring rescue medication, the medication is required to be at program site at al times while
child is in care. For youth who self-medicate and carry their own medications, medication must be with the
youth at al times. The options of storing “back up” rescue medications at program is available.

· Staff members on trip must be trained regarding rescue medication use and this health care plan.
This plan must accompany the child on the field trip.
· Other (specify)_________________________________________________________________________
Self-Medication for Youth
□ YES. Youth can self-medicate. I have instructed _______________________in the proper way to use
his/her medication. It is my professional opinion that he/she SHOULD be allowed to carry and self
administer his/her medication. Youth has been instructed not to share medications and should youth violate
these restrictions the privilege of self medicating wil be revoked and the youth’s parents notified. Youth are
required to notify staff when carrying medication.
□ NO. It is my professional opinion that _______________________SHOULD NOT carry or self administer
his/her medication.  
Parental Permission/Consent
Parent’s signature gives permission for child/youth personnel who have been trained in medication
administration to administer prescribed medicine and to contact emergency medical services if necessary. I
also understand my child must have required medication with him/her at all times when in attendance.
Youth Statement of Understanding
I have been instructed on the proper way to use my medication. I understand that I may not share
medications and should I violate these restrictions, my privileges may be restricted or revoked, my parents
wil be notified and further disciplinary action may be taken. I am also required to notify staff when carrying
medication.
Follow Up
This Al ergy Medical Action Plan wil be updated/revised whenever medications or child’s health status changes. If
there are no changes, the Al ergy Medical Plan wil be updated at least every 12 months.
I agree with the plan outlined above.
