IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Medication & Additional Support

All medication must be in date, supplied in its original packaging and clearly labelled with the young person’s details and instructions.

Medication should be handed directly to a UTurn staff member before departure unless another arrangement has been agreed.

Please contact the UTurn team before the trip if the young person has medical, sensory, communication, emotional, behavioural, mobility, dietary or overnight support needs. This helps us plan appropriate support in advance.
