It goes without saying that every child should have the right to feel safe and supported at school but, sadly, this has not always happened automatically for many children with Type 1 diabetes.
While many school staff already do a fantastic job and many schools have excellent procedures in place, there are still too many examples of children with Type 1 diabetes not getting the support they need at school. This leads to many children being denied the chance to have a rich and rewarding school life and meet their full academic potential.
This can include children not being supported to administer insulin or check their blood glucose level, or not being allowed snacks in class to treat low blood glucose levels.
