Require stricter standards for Type 1 diabetes support in schools

Families across the UK report children with Type 1 diabetes being left without safe support in school. Evidence from tribunals, charities and parliamentary submissions shows care plans are often not followed, that schools rely on a single trained member of staff, that parents are expected to attend school, and that children sometimes miss education due to unsafe provision. A child’s safety should not depend on their postcode or individual school decisions.
