Guidelines have been produced jointly by the Children's Diabetes Specialist Nurses (CDSN) at Sunderland Royal Hospital and Together for Children Sunderland Specialist Support Team Lead for Children or Young People (CYP) with Physical and/or Medical Needs.
It is crucial that a child or young person is supported to manage their diabetes in all aspects of their life, including their time at school. It is essential therefore that all staff in schools/settings in Sunderland Local Authority have an awareness of medical condition and the children or young person's needs.
A policy document, which is attached to this page, has been produced which is intended to ensure that staff are supported and equipped to manage children and young people with diabetes effectively in schools/settings in Sunderland.
