Schools and early years settings have a duty to support children with medical needs. This means that staff involved in administering medication must understand the legal responsibilities, policies and procedures that underpin safe practice.
This Medication Training for Schools and Early Years course provides an awareness-level introduction to medication administration. It is designed to help you understand your role, the procedures you need to follow and how to minimise risk when supporting children with medical needs.
By the end of the training, you will have a clear understanding of how to support medication management safely and confidently.
This course is designed to support and complement practical training by providing essential knowledge of safe medication practices. Note that practical training provided by a healthcare professional is required, alongside this theoretical guidance, to safely administer specific medication.

Is there a time limit on completing the course?
No, we want our courses to work around you so there’s no time limit in which you must complete the training after making a purchase.

How do you make your courses?
All of our courses are made by our in-house Learning Design team with an approach to solve real-world performance problems - not just to tick a box. This approach is built on the widely recognised Double Diamond framework, adapted to ensure that every course is engaging, effective and rooted in the learner's reality.
We collaborate with experts in the field to help pinpoint the specific barriers preventing safe or ideal behaviour. We identify opportunities for the course to solve these barriers, increasing the likelihood that training will translate into real-world action.
By training with us you can be confident that you are taking a course that has gone through rigorous internal reviews and external approvals to truly be built with the learner in mind.
