The Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA), recommend that Medical Management Plans, including Asthma and Anaphylaxis Action Plans, be displayed in areas that can be accessed by staff easily and quickly if an emergency response is required. As an approved Early Childhood Education and Care service, however, we have a responsibility to comply with Privacy Laws.
The Privacy Laws protect personal and health information by setting standards on how it should be handled from collection to disposal. Medical Management Plans contain personal health information about your child, and this is readily visible for other people who access our Service.
We are required to inform our families and seek permission to display your child’s Medical Management Plan in the centre office and food preparation areas.
