Question
To ask the Scottish Government what it is doing to improve outcomes for children with diabetes in relation to their needs when attending early years services, school and out-of-school services.
Answer
The Scottish Government has published guidance on supporting children and young people with healthcare needs in schools, and this guidance is available on our website. It was developed in partnership with a range of key stakeholders to guide those working in and with NHS boards, education authorities and schools to support children and young people affected by health issues which require specialised support in school.
The Scottish Diabetes Group and its sub-groups continue to consider these issues as we progress through the implementation of our Diabetes Improvement Plan.
