Children’s Medication Policy

1. Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to ensure the safe handling, administration, and management of medications for children and young people at {{org_field_name}}. We are committed to protecting the health and well-being of each child by managing medicines in line with all legal requirements and best practices. This policy establishes clear procedures so that staff administer medicines safely, store and dispose of them properly, and maintain accurate records. By following this policy, {{org_field_name}} complies with the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016 and the Regulated Services (Service Providers and Responsible Individuals) (Wales) Regulations 2017 – in particular, Regulation 58 which requires us to have robust arrangements for the safe storage, supply, recording, and disposal of medicines. Adhering to this policy ensures we meet Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) standards and keep children safe from harm related to medication.

2. Scope

This Medication Policy applies to all staff members involved in the care of children at {{org_field_name}}, including care support workers, senior staff, and the management team. It covers the handling of all medicines – prescribed medications, over-the-counter remedies, and controlled drugs – for any child or young person living in our residential care home. It applies wherever medication is managed: on-site at the home, during off-site activities or appointments, and during any outings or home visits. The policy is focused on children’s services and is designed so that staff at all levels can understand and follow it. All employees must familiarize themselves with these procedures and adhere to them at all times. Any agency staff or health professionals administering or assisting with medicines in our home are also expected to follow these standards. In essence, this policy encompasses everything from ordering and storage of medicines, through to administration, recording, error management, and training of staff. It is meant to protect both the children in our care and the staff by setting clear guidelines and expectations.

Note: This policy is specific to the management of medications for children and young people in our care. It does not cover broader clinical treatments or invasive medical procedures, which are addressed in other healthcare policies if applicable. For guidance on emergency medical situations or other health issues, staff should refer to the relevant policies (e.g. First Aid Policy or Emergency Medical Treatment Policy) in conjunction with this medication policy.

3. Legislative and Regulatory Context

The management of medicines at {{org_field_name}} is governed by legislation, statutory guidance and regulatory requirements applicable to care home services for children in Wales. The service provider and Responsible Individual must ensure that this policy and the practices arising from it remain consistent with current legislation, statutory guidance and the service’s Statement of Purpose.

The principal legal and regulatory framework includes:

Regulation 58 also requires the service provider to have a policy and procedures concerning the safe storage and administration of medicines and to ensure that the service is provided in accordance with those policies and procedures.

The service will keep this policy under review and update it when legislation, statutory guidance, CIW requirements, the Statement of Purpose or relevant national medicines guidance changes. Where there is any conflict between this policy and a statutory requirement, the statutory requirement will take precedence and the policy will be reviewed without delay.

4. Key Principles of Safe Medication Management

At {{org_field_name}}, we follow key principles to ensure that medication is managed in a child-centred and safe manner. These principles guide all staff actions related to medicines:

Children and young people must be given information about their medicines in a way that is appropriate to their age, maturity, communication needs and level of understanding, and their views, wishes and feelings must be taken into account.

For a child under 16, staff must consider whether the child has sufficient understanding and intelligence to understand the particular proposed treatment or medication decision. Where the child is Gillick competent in relation to that particular decision, their consent and views must be respected within the applicable legal framework. The Fraser guidelines relate specifically to contraceptive advice and treatment and must not be used as a general test for competence in relation to all medicines.

Where a child under 16 is not competent to make the particular decision, staff must establish who has lawful authority to consent or make the relevant decision. This may include a person with parental responsibility or, depending on the child’s legal status and the scope of the relevant order or care arrangements, the placing local authority. Staff must not assume that every person involved in the child’s care has authority to consent to every form of treatment.

For young people aged 16 and 17, the Mental Capacity Act 2005 applies when considering whether the young person has capacity to make the particular decision. A young person must be presumed to have capacity unless it is established otherwise in accordance with the Act. Where the young person lacks capacity to make the particular decision, any decision made on their behalf must follow the applicable legal framework and must be properly documented.

Any disagreement, uncertainty about consent or parental responsibility, significant refusal of essential treatment, or proposed treatment that may involve restraint, covert administration or a deprivation of liberty must be escalated immediately to the Registered Manager and the relevant healthcare professional. Legal or placing-authority advice must be obtained where required.

The child’s or young person’s consent, refusal, views and any decision made by another person with lawful authority must be clearly recorded in the child’s records and reflected in the Personal Plan or Health Plan where relevant.

By embracing these principles, staff can ensure that the process of handling medications is not just a task, but part of providing nurturing, competent care. Safe medication management is a critical part of our commitment to high-quality care for children.

5. Roles and Responsibilities

Clear roles and responsibilities help ensure accountability in medication management. The following outlines who is responsible for various aspects of medication safety in our home:

Each member of staff must understand their responsibilities outlined above. The Registered Manager will ensure that this is discussed in staff inductions, training, and supervisions. Fulfilling these roles properly helps prevent mistakes and ensures that if an issue arises, it is caught and dealt with swiftly to keep children safe.

6. Medication Management Procedures

This section details the specific procedures to follow for managing children’s medications safely. All staff must follow these procedures at all times.

6.1 Admission and Initial Medication Assessment

When a child or young person is admitted to {{org_field_name}}, it is crucial to promptly gather accurate information about their health and medication needs. The following steps must be taken on admission (or prior, during the referral process, if possible):

By thoroughly assessing and organizing a child’s medication needs at the time of admission, we set a safe foundation. This process prevents doses from being missed or duplicated during transition, and ensures we have the correct authority and information to care for the child’s health properly from their first day with us.

6.2 Prescriptions and Ordering Medication Supply

Maintaining a sufficient supply of each child’s medication is essential. Running out is not an option, as missed doses can harm the child. We have a clear system for ordering and re-ordering medicines:

By managing prescriptions and supply proactively, we ensure continuity of treatment for each child. Effective ordering systems also demonstrate to CIW that we have “arrangements for maintaining a sufficient supply of medicines” as required. Staff should never become complacent – always check and plan ahead so that each child’s health needs are consistently met.

6.2.1 Medicines Reconciliation

Medicines reconciliation must be undertaken whenever {{org_field_name}} assumes, transfers or resumes responsibility for managing a child’s medicines and whenever there is a significant transition of care which may result in uncertainty about the current medication regimen.

This includes, where applicable:

The purpose of medicines reconciliation is to establish an accurate and current list of all medicines the child is intended to receive and to identify and resolve discrepancies before they result in omitted, duplicated or incorrect treatment.

The reconciliation process must, so far as applicable, confirm:

Information should be checked against appropriate reliable sources such as the current pharmacy dispensing label, current prescription information, hospital discharge documentation, information from the GP or prescriber, current MAR documentation, the child’s health plan and information supplied by the placing authority.

Where information from different sources does not agree, staff must not guess which instruction is correct. The discrepancy must be referred promptly to an appropriate healthcare professional for clarification.

Any unresolved discrepancy that could affect an immediate dose must be escalated without delay and professional advice obtained before administration.

The outcome of reconciliation, including discrepancies identified, enquiries made and changes confirmed, must be documented in the child’s records and relevant medication documentation must be updated.

6.3 Storage of Medicines

{{org_field_name}} must ensure that all medicines are stored safely, securely and in accordance with the requirements of the particular medicine, the manufacturer’s instructions, applicable legislation and each child’s assessed needs.

Emergency medicines must not simply be left unsecured because rapid access may be required. All staff responsible for the child must know where the emergency medicine is located and how to obtain it without avoidable delay.

6.4 Administration of Medicines and Record-Keeping

Administering medication to children is a critical task that must be done correctly every time. To ensure consistency and safety, staff should follow a standard procedure each time they give any medication. This section breaks down the process and key points to remember:

6.4.1 Preparation and Verification Before Administration

Before giving any medication, prepare and double-check the following:

Always remember the “5 Rights” of medication administration as your mental checklist: the Right Child, Right Medication, Right Dose, Right Time, and Right Route. Some add a 6th right: Right Documentation (recording properly). Before giving the medicine, be certain all these rights are confirmed.

6.4.2 Process of Administering Medication to the Child

Once everything is prepared and verified, proceed to administer the medication with care:

Privacy and dignity should be preserved. If a child is self-conscious about medicine (perhaps a teenager not wanting others to know they take a certain pill), be discreet. You can administer in a private area or quietly aside from the group. However, always have safety in mind – if you are alone with a child while giving medication, ensure professional boundaries and that you have informed another staff (for safety and accountability).

6.4.3 Recording and Documentation

Immediately after administering each medication (or if a dose was omitted/refused), proper recording is mandatory. Accurate record-keeping is part of safe administration and a regulatory requirement. Our practices include:

By maintaining rigorous documentation, we fulfill the legal requirement for record-keeping of medicines support and ensure continuity of care. It also provides evidence that our service is managing medication properly (CIW inspectors often review MARs and drug registers during inspections). Staff should take pride in keeping impeccable records – it is part of our professionalism and duty of care.

6.4.4 Managing Refusals, Missed Doses, and Other Issues

Children and young people might sometimes refuse to take their medication, or circumstances might cause a dose to be missed or not given fully. It’s important to handle these situations calmly, safely, and in accordance with guidelines:

In all cases of non-administration (for whatever reason), our responses should be guided by the principles of safeguarding the child’s health, transparency (noting and reporting accurately), and learning to prevent future issues. By handling refusals and missed doses methodically, we maintain trust (the child sees we won’t force them, but we do care enough to try alternatives) and comply with expectations that medication administration is overseen properly. Also, CIW and other authorities will expect to see that even challenges in administration are documented and managed, which this policy ensures.

6.4.5 Covert Administration of Medication

Covert administration means administering a medicine in a disguised form without the child or young person knowing that the medicine is being administered. It is a significant interference with autonomy and must never be used simply because a child refuses medication, because administration is difficult, or for staff convenience.

Covert administration must only occur in exceptional circumstances where there is clear lawful authority, the intervention is necessary and proportionate, less restrictive alternatives have been considered, and the arrangements have been formally agreed, recorded and kept under review.

Children Under 16

For a child under 16, staff must first consider whether the child is Gillick competent to make the particular decision about the medicine.

Where the child is competent to make the particular decision, their decision must not be overridden by staff through covert administration merely because staff, parents or professionals disagree with it. Any situation in which essential treatment is refused by a competent child must be escalated immediately to the prescriber, placing authority and Registered Manager and legal advice must be sought where required.

Where the child is not competent to make the particular decision, staff must establish who has lawful authority to make the decision. This may include a person with parental responsibility or, depending on the child’s legal status and relevant orders, the placing local authority. The child’s wishes and feelings must nevertheless be considered.

Where there is significant disagreement, persistent objection, uncertainty about who has lawful authority, or where the proposed intervention may involve restraint or amount to a deprivation of liberty, staff must not proceed solely on the basis of an internal care-home decision. The matter must be referred to the placing authority and relevant healthcare professionals and legal advice or court authority obtained where required.

Young People Aged 16 or 17

The Mental Capacity Act 2005 applies to young people aged 16 and over.

A young person aged 16 or 17 must be presumed to have capacity to make the particular medication decision unless it is established otherwise in accordance with the Mental Capacity Act 2005.

A young person who has capacity to make the particular decision must not be given medication covertly simply because they refuse it.

Where a young person aged 16 or 17 lacks capacity to make the particular decision, any decision to administer medicine covertly must be made lawfully in accordance with the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and any other applicable legal framework. The decision must be necessary, proportionate and in the young person’s best interests, and the least restrictive available option must be used.

Requirements Before Covert Administration

Except where immediate emergency treatment is lawfully required, covert administration must not commence until:

Covert Medication Plan

The written plan must identify:

Staff must never crush tablets, open capsules or mix medicines with food or drink unless this has been confirmed as safe for the particular medicine by an appropriate pharmacist or other authorised healthcare professional.

Recording

Every covertly administered dose must be recorded accurately on the Medication Administration Record in the same way as any other administered medicine and in accordance with the agreed covert medication plan.

Staff must not falsify, obscure or omit records because administration was covert.

Review

The continued need for covert administration must be reviewed regularly and whenever circumstances change. Covert administration must stop when it is no longer necessary, lawful or proportionate.

The service must continue to work towards open administration wherever this can be achieved safely and lawfully.

Any member of staff who believes covert administration is taking place without proper authority must not continue the practice without escalation and must report the concern immediately to the Registered Manager in accordance with safeguarding and whistleblowing procedures where appropriate.

6.4.6 Self-Administration by Children and Young People

{{org_field_name}} recognises that children and young people should be supported to develop independence in managing their medicines where this is appropriate to their age, understanding, wishes, abilities and individual circumstances and where this can be achieved safely.

The service must not automatically assume responsibility for administering every medicine where a child or young person is able and wishes to manage some or all of their medicines themselves.

Individual Assessment

Before self-administration begins, an individual assessment and risk assessment must determine the level of support required.

The assessment must consider:

Self-administration may apply to all of a child’s medicines or only specified medicines. Different levels of support may therefore apply to different medicines.

Consent and Decision-Making

For children under 16, decision-making must take account of the child’s understanding and whether they are Gillick competent in relation to the particular decision. Where the child is not competent, staff must establish who has lawful authority to make the relevant decision.

For young people aged 16 or 17, the Mental Capacity Act 2005 applies where there is doubt about capacity to make the particular decision.

The child’s or young person’s views and wishes must always be taken seriously and properly recorded.

Care Planning

The agreed self-administration arrangements must be documented in the child’s Personal Plan or Health Plan and must specify:

Storage

Medicines for self-administration must be stored in accordance with the individual’s risk assessment. Where appropriate, a secure lockable cupboard, drawer or medicines box may be provided for the young person’s individual use.

Storage arrangements must allow the young person to access medicines when they are required while preventing unauthorised access by other children.

Controlled Drugs and Other Higher-Risk Medicines

Controlled-drug status must not, by itself, be treated as an automatic prohibition on self-administration.

Where a child or young person wishes to self-administer a controlled drug or another higher-risk medicine, an individual risk assessment must determine whether this can be managed safely and lawfully. The arrangements must comply with any applicable controlled-drug storage, supply and recording requirements and professional advice must be obtained where necessary.

Where the assessment identifies that self-administration would create an unacceptable risk to the child, young person or others, staff will manage or supervise the medicine at the level necessary to control that risk. The reason for this decision must be recorded and reviewed.

Recording

The service must maintain an accurate record of medicines managed through self-administration.

The medication record must show, as applicable:

Review

Self-administration arrangements must be reviewed at the frequency identified in the individual risk assessment and whenever there is a relevant change, including:

Any restriction on self-administration must be proportionate to the identified risk and must not continue for longer than necessary.

6.5 Medication During Outings, Education, Home Visits and Other Off-Site Activities

A child’s medicines arrangements must continue safely whenever the child is away from {{org_field_name}}. The Registered Manager must ensure that responsibility for each medicine is clear and that there is an auditable record of medicines transferred from, administered away from and returned to the service.

General Requirements

Before a child leaves the service where medication may be required, staff must establish:

Packaging and Labelling

Prescribed medicines taken away from the home must remain in the correctly labelled container or packaging supplied for that child by the dispensing pharmacy or other authorised supplier.

Staff must not routinely remove tablets, capsules or other medicines from their dispensed container and place them into an unlabelled or staff-labelled envelope, pot, bag, box or other improvised container.

Where a smaller quantity or separate supply is required for school, contact, a holiday or another period away from the service, staff must seek an appropriately dispensed and labelled supply from the pharmacy or obtain professional advice about a safe alternative arrangement.

School or Education Provision

Where a medicine is to be administered by school or education staff:

Outings and Appointments

Where a member of {{org_field_name}} staff accompanies the child and remains responsible for medicines, the member of staff must:

Overnight Trips and Holidays Supported by Staff

A named competent member of staff must have responsibility for medicines arrangements during the trip.

Before departure, medicines taken from the home must be reconciled against the current medication record. Suitable secure storage must be available throughout the trip.

Administration, refusals, omissions and PRN use must be recorded contemporaneously.

On return, remaining medicines must be reconciled against the amounts supplied and doses recorded. Any discrepancy must be reported immediately.

Family Contact and Home Visits

Where medicines are transferred to a parent, relative, foster carer or other authorised person:

Any unexplained discrepancy must be reported to the Registered Manager and investigated. Where the circumstances indicate a safeguarding risk, the safeguarding procedure must also be followed.

Controlled Drugs

Controlled drugs taken away from the service must be transported, stored, administered and recorded in accordance with the requirements applying to the particular controlled drug. An appropriate audit trail must be maintained.

Refrigerated and Temperature-Sensitive Medicines

Where medicines require specific temperature-controlled storage, suitable arrangements must be made before leaving the service. Manufacturer requirements and pharmacy advice must be followed. Medicines must not be used where there is uncertainty about whether storage conditions have been maintained until appropriate professional advice has been obtained.

Emergency Medicines

Required emergency medicines must accompany the child where the child’s assessment or healthcare plan indicates this is necessary. They must remain immediately accessible to the responsible person while being protected from unauthorised access.

Staff accompanying the child must know:

Reconciliation and Records

Every transfer of responsibility for medicines must have a clear audit trail.

The service must be able to establish:

Any discrepancy, medication error or unexplained loss must be escalated and managed in accordance with the medication incident procedure.

6.6 Disposal of Medication

Safe disposal of unused or expired medications is important to prevent accidental ingestion, misuse, or environmental damage. Under no circumstances should medications be thrown in general waste or down toilets/sinks. {{org_field_name}} follows these guidelines for disposal:

Proper disposal practices are part of our overall medication management system. They protect everyone and prove our service’s thoroughness. We include training for staff on disposal procedures, and the manager audits that returns are happening and logs are kept. If CIW or an inspector asks “what do you do with expired meds?”, any staff should be able to confidently describe the above process, demonstrating our commitment to safe and responsible care.

6.7 Controlled Drugs: Special Handling Procedures

Some medications used by children are classified as Controlled Drugs (CDs) due to their potential for abuse or harm (examples in a child-care context might include methylphenidate for ADHD, certain strong painkillers, or sedatives). Controlled drugs have extra legal restrictions and must be handled with heightened security and documentation. In addition to the general medication procedures, we implement the following for controlled drugs:

By following these stringent measures, we are aligned with legal requirements for controlled drugs and ensure that “medication storage and administration adheres to statutory and non-statutory guidance”. The added oversight not only prevents misuse and diversion (which could have serious consequences for the child and others), but also ensures the child consistently receives their needed medication without interruption or error. Controlled drugs often are critical to a child’s well-being (like focusing in school, controlling pain, etc.), so we treat them with the utmost care and responsibility.

6.8 “Homely Remedies” and Non-Prescription Medications

A homely remedy is a common over-the-counter (OTC) medicine or preparation used to treat minor ailments, which can be bought without a prescription (like paracetamol for a mild fever or a simple cough syrup). In a children’s care home, it’s practical to have some homely remedies available, so we don’t need to call a doctor for every minor complaint. However, their use must be carefully controlled and documented to ensure safety and avoid masking serious conditions. Our approach to homely remedies is:

By implementing a homely remedies protocol, we align with guidance that “care homes should consider maintaining a stock of OTC medicines to address minor ailments”, but we do so in a structured, safety-conscious way. Children thus get timely relief for minor issues, and staff have clear boundaries for what they can do without a doctor. This enhances care while still respecting safety and regulatory compliance.

6.9 Medication Errors and Adverse Incidents

Despite best efforts and careful systems, medication errors can still occur. What’s crucial is how we respond to them – to protect the child involved, to learn from mistakes, and to prevent future occurrences. A medication error could be: giving the wrong medication, the wrong dose, to the wrong child, at the wrong time, by the wrong route, or failing to give a dose, or giving without proper authorisation. It could also include administering a medication in a manner not in line with guidelines (e.g. crushed when shouldn’t be) or discovering a significant discrepancy in controlled drug counts. Additionally, adverse drug reactions or events (where a child has a harmful or unexpected reaction to a medicine) are important incidents. Our policy for errors and incidents is as follows:

In essence, we foster a culture where staff immediately report errors or near-misses, and we respond rapidly to protect the individual and learn from mistakes. This aligns with regulatory expectations that providers have systems to record and review incidents (including medication errors) and take action in response. By handling errors transparently and proactively, we ultimately improve the safety of our medication management for everyone.

6.10 Staff Training and Competency

Medication safety is directly linked to the knowledge and skills of the staff administering it. Therefore, {{org_field_name}} places a strong emphasis on proper training and assessment of competency for all staff involved in medication management, in line with regulatory requirements. Our approach includes:

By ensuring “staff receive training and are competent before managing or administering medication”, we greatly reduce risks. CIW inspectors will often ask staff questions during visits to gauge their knowledge, or check training records – we strive for every staff member to answer confidently and correctly about our medication procedures. Moreover, well-trained staff lead to safe and smooth medication rounds, which directly benefits the health of the children in our care.

6.11 Audit and Quality Assurance

Regular auditing and oversight of medication practices are essential to maintain high standards and catch any issues early. {{org_field_name}} implements several layers of audit and quality assurance in line with regulatory expectations (Regulation 58 explicitly expects “regular auditing of the storage and administration of medicines”, and our own commitment to continuous improvement).

Our audit and QA activities include:

Effective oversight and audit ensure we maintain high standards and that any deviations are quickly corrected. This systematic approach satisfies our regulatory obligations to monitor quality and safety of our service (including medicines management). More importantly, it ensures that children in our care consistently receive the correct care with regards to their medications, which is a cornerstone of their overall health and well-being while at {{org_field_name}}.

6.12 Delegated Medicines-Related Healthcare Activities

Where a healthcare professional delegates a medicines-related healthcare activity to a member of staff at {{org_field_name}}, the activity must only be undertaken where the delegation is lawful, appropriate for the individual child, consistent with current national guidance and professional requirements, and within the competence of the member of staff.

Before accepting responsibility for a delegated medicines-related activity, the Registered Manager must ensure that:

A member of staff must not undertake a delegated medicines-related activity if they have not been trained and assessed as competent or if they believe they are unable to perform the activity safely.

Competence must be reviewed at an appropriate frequency and whenever:

Delegation does not authorise staff to make clinical decisions that have not been delegated to them. Where instructions are unclear, circumstances have changed or the child’s condition gives cause for concern, staff must stop and obtain advice from the appropriate healthcare professional.

Records of delegation, training, competency assessment and review must be retained in accordance with the service’s records management arrangements.

7. Medication Incidents, Escalation and Regulatory Notifications

Every medication error, omission, near miss, unexplained discrepancy, loss, suspected diversion, adverse medication event or concern about medicines management must be reported internally in accordance with {{org_field_name}}’s incident reporting procedure and escalated to the Registered Manager or senior person on duty.

The immediate priority following a medication incident is the child’s safety.

Staff must:

Medication records must reflect what actually occurred. Staff must never falsify, erase or retrospectively alter a medication record to conceal an error.

CIW Notification

A medication incident is not automatically notifiable to Care Inspectorate Wales solely because a medication error has occurred.

The Registered Manager and/or Responsible Individual must consider the circumstances against Regulation 60 and Schedule 3 of the Regulated Services (Service Providers and Responsible Individuals) (Wales) Regulations 2017, as amended.

A notification must be made where the incident meets an applicable statutory notification category, for example where the circumstances amount to or involve:

Where a notification is required, it must be made without delay unless the Regulations specify a different timescale and must be submitted in the manner required by CIW, including through CIW Online where required.

Where the circumstances do not meet a CIW notification category, the medication incident must nevertheless be recorded, investigated and reviewed internally and must be reported to other relevant bodies where another legal, safeguarding, commissioning or professional reporting requirement applies.

Placing Authority and Safeguarding

For a child accommodated by the service, the Registered Manager must also consider whether notification to the placing authority is required under Schedule 3 or under the child’s placement arrangements.

Where a medication incident raises a concern of abuse, neglect, deliberate withholding, inappropriate restraint, deliberate overdose, diversion or other improper treatment, the safeguarding procedure must be followed immediately in addition to the medication incident procedure.

Investigation and Learning

Medication incidents and near misses must be reviewed proportionately to establish:

Actions identified through investigation must be implemented, monitored and included in medicines audit and quality-assurance arrangements where appropriate.

8. Policy Review

To remain effective and up-to-date, this Children’s Medication Policy will be subject to regular review. {{org_field_name}} commits to reviewing this policy at least annually (every 12 months) and more frequently if needed. The Registered Manager ({{org_field_registered_manager_first_name}} {{org_field_registered_manager_last_name}}) together with the Responsible Individual will oversee the review process.

During each review, we will:

By diligently reviewing and updating our Medication Policy, {{org_field_name}} ensures that we remain compliant with the latest requirements and that we are continuously improving our care. Regular review is also a regulatory expectation and a hallmark of a learning organisation. It demonstrates to regulators, staff, and service users that we do not take medication management for granted – we are always looking to enhance safety and quality. As medicine and children’s needs evolve, so will our policy, thereby sustaining a high standard of care.
