In the interests of the safety of all Choir members on our courses, we do not allow free access to medication of any kind. The only exceptions are items used in the treatment of asthma, diabetes and severe allergies (Epipens); these remain in the possession of the choir member, but parents are still asked to supply details for our information, and to bring duplicates that are handed in to the Head of Pastoral Care or Chief Executive in case of loss/damage.
There is a member of staff on duty 24 hours a day with responsibility for all medication, who will be called if your son needs to take Paracetamol. Please do not bring paracetamol, ibuprofen, Calpol etc. to the course, as we have plenty in stock.
Please note that throat sweets are included in the above, and must be handed in. This is because a sore throat can indicate a problem with vocal technique, so we need to be aware of it.
If a choir member takes medication for a chronic and/or serious condition, it is very helpful if we have duplicates, in case of loss or damage
