Service Details
- Additional Information
This service is available all year round on week days. We can provide general advice and guidance about how to manage medical needs within a school setting, in line with the Children and Families Act 2014. Similarly, we can offer guidance to schools and other settings on adhering to the Equality Act 2010 with regard to disability. There is no cost for general advice and guidance.
- Referral information
We provide general advice and guidance to anyone with queries about managing disabilities or medical needs within a school or other setting. We usually only become directly involved where a child or young person is considered to be 'high needs' and for this, the school or setting should complete a Referral Form (to be signed by parents).
