Answer

My department is progressing an update to the ‘Supporting pupils with Medication Needs’ Guidance in collaboration with the Department of Health and the Education Authority.

Department of Health guidance on the use of Adrenaline Auto-Injectors (AAIs) in schools appended to the departmental guidance was revised in October 2018.
