What medical information and medication must be sorted out before a trip?

Regulation 8A(7) of the Regulations for Safety Measures at Public Schools requires the school to make sure that:

• if a learner is on medication and will need it during the activity, the parent has given the learner enough medication for the whole trip;
• if the learner needs to carry a doctor's prescription, the parent has given certified copies of the prescription to both the learner and the supervising educator;
• parents are advised to tell the school in writing about the learner's medical condition;
• before the activity, the principal gives the supervising educator a report on the learners' medical conditions;
• parents are told about any travel to or through a high-risk disease area.
