MEDICAL FORMS and Healthcare Advice

What to do if your child will need Medical Care Plan in school:

The aim of the Individual Healthcare Plan is to help a learner manage their condition and overcome any potential barriers to participating fully in education. Those devising the plan should agree who will take the lead, but responsibility for ensuring it is finalised and implemented rests with the school.

IHP’s are essential where healthcare needs are complex, fluctuating, long term or where there is a high risk that an emergency intervention will be needed. However, not all learners with healthcare needs require an IHP and there should be a process in place to decide what interventions are most appropriate.

What to do if your child will need Medical Diet Plan in school:

What is a medical diet? A medical diet is defined as being a medically prescribed therapeutic diet as a treatment for a medical condition, including learners with food allergies or food intolerances. It does not include diets required for religious, cultural or personal requirements/preferences and dietary trials or elimination diets.

Dear Parents,

The NHS has asked for this message to be sent out to you.

Undiagnosed Type 1 diabetes in children requires urgent medical attention

If your child has ANY of the main symptoms of Type 1 diabetes please make an urgent GP appointment or contact the Out of Hours service. The main symptoms are known as the 4 Ts – Thirst, Toilet, Tiredness, Thinner. If you notice your child is thirsty or using the toilet more frequently, is always feeling tired, or has lost weight recently, seek immediate medical advice.
