Supporting pupils at school with medical conditions

What is it?

This is statutory guidance for governing bodies of maintained schools and proprietors of academies in England.  It was produced in December 2015 and there don’t seem to be any updates.

The document contains statutory guidance and non-statutory advice.  The purpose of the document is to support relevant organisations to support pupils at school who have medical conditions.

Why might it be of interest?

If your young person has a medical condition that affects their ability to access school and the curriculum then it would be worth you knowing what the government says about how they should be supported in school, what arrangements should be made and who is responsible.
