Supporting pupils at school with medical conditions
Thursday 11th September 2014
New Guidance from the DfE published this month:
The key points in this guidance are:
pupils at school with medical conditions should be properly supported so that they have full access to education, including school trips and physical education;
governing bodies must ensure that arrangements are in place in schools to support pupils at school with medical conditions;
and governing bodies should ensure that school leaders consult health and social care professionals, pupils and parents to ensure that the needs of children with medical conditions are effectively supported.
