Pupils: Health

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps his Department will take in 2018 to ensure that schools in England are (a) aware of and (b) comply with the statutory guidance on pupils with medical conditions at school.

Answer

Last year the department promoted the statutory guidance on ‘supporting pupils with medical conditions in school’ through the department’s social media channels. This reached over 32,000 people.

We keep the statutory guidance under review and plan to host a roundtable with the Health Conditions in Schools Alliance in May 2018 where issues such as awareness and compliance will be discussed.
