Can I use a school's spare auto-injector on a child without their own device?

Accepted Answer

Policies differ, but many UK schemes and local protocols allow staff to use a school's spare AAI in an emergency on a child who is known to be at risk and has parental consent in place. You must follow your organisation's policies, care plans and training; when in doubt in a life-threatening situation, focus on acting in good faith to save life.
