Please ensure that the action plan is completed by your Doctor and uploaded to Operoo. All medication is required to be provided to the Centre Manager and a Risk Minimisation completed and signed by the parents, prior to the child attending. This is essential to ensure we are able to minimise the risk while the child attends Little Beacons.

Refer to the Medical Management Policy

The Action Plan approved for use and to be provided in COLOR are below.

Little Beacons supports the safety and wellbeing of children who are at risk of anaphylaxis and believes that the implementation of the Anaphylaxis Policy is a whole-of-community responsibility. Little Beacons is committed to providing, as far as practicable, a safe and healthy environment in which children at risk of anaphylaxis can participate equally in all aspects of the children’s program and experiences.

Little Beacons is committed to raising awareness about allergies and anaphylaxis. Active involvement of parents/guardians of each child at risk of anaphylaxis supports Little Beacons in assessing risks, developing risk minimisation strategies and management strategies for the child.

Little Beacons is committed to ensuring each staff member and other relevant adults have adequate knowledge of allergies, anaphylaxis and emergency procedures. Little Beacons believes the facilitation of effective communication supports the safety and wellbeing of children at risk of anaphylaxis. Little Beacons ensures that Educators have current Epi-Pen training and are fully aware of the Anaphylaxis Policy.

Please ensure that an Anaphylaxis Management Form is completed by your Doctor, a colour copy is uploaded to Operoo, and an epi-pen (within expiry date) is provided. An epi-pen must remain on the premises for the period in which a child is enrolled at Little Beacons. Refer to the Medical Management Policy. Expired Epi-Pens are returned to families for disposal.
