To achieve this the provider must ensure: a) information about children’s medical needs and symptoms is fully recorded to support the childminder in the safe administration of medication b) all medication is stored and recorded in line with guidance c) review medication at least every 3 months, earlier if required, in line with guidance. This is to comply with Regulation 4 (1) (a) (Welfare of users) of The Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland (Requirements for Care Services) Regulations 2011 (SSI 2011/210). This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'Any treatment or intervention that I experience is safe and effective' (HSCS 1.24).
