Asthma Form

We are currently reviewing our asthma policy and register to ensure we provide the support and care needed for children and young people in our school with asthma. Our updated asthma policy means we will have an emergency salbutamol reliever inhaler on site for children already diagnosed with asthma or that have a prescribed inhaler.

This is a precautionary measure. You still need to provide your child with their own inhaler and spacer as prescribed.

If you do not wish for us to use the schools’ inhaler in an emergency, please fill in the details below and return to school as soon as possible.

Please note that everyone with asthma should use a spacer with their inhaler in order to deliver maximum benefit to the lungs (unless your child has a breath actuated inhaler).

If your child does not have a spacer or has not had an asthma review in the past 12 months, please book an appointment with your GP as soon as possible who will also provide an up to date personalised asthma action plan for us to follow in school.

For more information on reasons for and how to use a spacer see Asthma UK: www.asthma.org.uk

In order to ensure the information we have for your child is up to date in regards to asthma can you please provide us with the following information about your child.
