on the question of plasters do you get the parents to provide the plasters or do you provide them. I don't particularly like plasters but sometimes you need to use one. not sure whether or not ot get parents to provide them or just for me to do it

I would use my own... never thought about it really as I don't remember the last time I used them... They are still in the wrapper in my first aid box from when I got it on my first aid course 2 years ago and I've not opened them yet!
We are insured to use what we have been trained to use - and since the plasters came from the trainers, I suppose I must be covered to use them. :D

I think everyone has just about covered everything.
I keep my own supply of plasters and like Sarah very rarely use them!

i th:panic: ink this policy thing is getting silly, i bet pre schools and nurserys dont have all these
we maybe think that policies are silly but in society today you have to cover your own back for EVERYTHING these days. :(
