Medical conditions at school: statutory guidance

Overview

We're seeking views on updates to guidance to strengthen how schools support pupils with medical conditions and allergy.

Why your views matter

We are consulting on proposed updates to the statutory guidance Supporting pupils with medical conditions at school. The consultation seeks views on how schools can better support pupils with a wide range of medical conditions, including allergy, and create safe, inclusive environments.

We also want to understand how training, individual healthcare plans, incident reporting and learning from near misses can be strengthened. Your responses will help us finalise revised guidance for schools and inform wider work to improve safety, consistency and inclusion for children with medical needs.
