Whole school approach to asthma in schools

What do I need to record and report?

Ensure your asthma policy is reviewed annually.
Ensure the asthma register is updated regularly.
Keep an accurate record of each occasion a CYP is given or supervised taking their inhaler.
- If recording takes place in more than one location i.e., classroom and office - the record is amalgamated to clearly reflect frequency of use. Ideally there should be one record.
Details of the supervising staff member, CYP, dose, date and time are recorded.
Parents will be informed if a CYP uses their inhaler at any time unless there is routine use which is clearly stated in their PAAP such as prior to sports.
If a CYP refuses to use their inhaler, this is also recorded, parents are then to be informed as soon as possible.
Keep an asthma register so that you can identify and safeguard CYP with asthma; this is held in the classroom and school office.
