Important information for school staff

Information in the Health Support Plan and Emergency Care Response Plans are specifically designed to meet the needs of the individual student named and must not be applied to any other student, even if they have similar health conditions or emergency care needs.

The NSW Department of Education is subject to the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002.

When handling these plans, staff must take care to maintain confidentiality and privacy, ensuring that information about the student is treated sensitively and shared only with those who need to know in order to support the student’s health and safety.

The information on this form is used to support the health and safety of students, staff and visitors to the school. It may be disclosed to external parties such as medical practitioners, health workers (including ambulance officers and nurses), government departments or other schools (government and non-government) only when the disclosure is for this primary purpose or a directly related purpose, or as required by law.

This form must be stored securely at the school. If the student transfers to another school, the Health Support Plan and Emergency Care Response Plan may be securely shared with the new school to ensure continuity of care. This transfer of information will be managed in accordance with relevant legislation and department policies.
