Cough Sweets & Lozenges

Back to News

10th Dec 2018

We have noticed that a few children are bringing in cough lozenges to school.

Whilst we understand that these are given in order to ease children’s cough/sore throat symptoms, they are a form of medicine and so have the potential to cause harm. They also present a potential choking risk.

We have strict procedures regarding the use of medicines in school and a healthy eating philosophy that does not allow children to have sweets. Our concern also is that lozenges brought in to school without the knowledge of staff will be shared and consumed by children as if they are sweets.

We are looking at the impact of this and the legal and practical obligations and implications.

Whilst this is ongoing, we ask that you do not send lozenges into school.

Thank you for your support.
