- Assistance with cleaning after toileting
- Changing wet or soiled clothing
- Assistance with handwashing and personal hygiene
Consent for Routine Intimate Care
I understand that:
- Intimate care will be carried out respectfully and with regard for my child's dignity and wellbeing.
- A familiar member of staff will provide support where possible.
- Staff will follow the Intimate Care Policy and safeguarding procedures.
- Staff will inform me if there are any concerns regarding my child's intimate care needs.
- If my child's needs become more complex or require regular additional support, an individual Intimate Care/Toileting Plan may be developed with me.
- If my child has medical needs or allergies, I must inform the school.
- I understand that if my child requires a barrier cream, I will need to complete a separate medication form and that the cream must be handed to a member of staff. I will not store any creams in my child’s bag.
I have read and agree to the above.
I give permission for staff at Ludwick Nursery School to provide routine intimate care for my child as described above.
