I'm trying so point out it isn't as straightforward as just having a couple of staff trained and willing.
1) The child cannot carry his own insulin around with him. It will have to be kept stored securely so no other child can get it. There will gave to be a designated cupboard or similar,,and who will hold the key? What happens if that person is ill, off work, etc?
2) There will have to be sufficient in school to cover his needs, so will it be brought in daily or weekly or half-termly? This will have to be agreed with the family, as to how it will be brought to school, by a responsible adult. What is the procedure if the supply is depleted?
3) A record will have to be kept, in a designated book, of amount given, time, and by whom. This is after potentially damgerous medication. Should there be an incident, where blood sugar drops too low, then staff need to show a paper trail they have given the correct dose at the correct time.
4) Where will the insulin be administered? To protect the child's dignity it needs to be a private area where other children or staff are not likely to barge in.
5) What happens at lunch time or break if the child shows sign of hypoglycaemia? Are the welfare staff sufficiently clued up to recognise the signs? Are other children? And if they are do they know what action to take?
6) What about PE lessons? Swimming? Music? These days many schools buy in specialists to take these lessons. Are they aware of the child's condition.
The same applies to out-of-school hours activities.
And so on...All this will have to be written into an individual plan for that child. This is not the same as asking the class teacher to give little Johny his 5ml of antibiotic at lunch time. Incidentally you need to take in a note if you want the teacher to do that nowadays too.
All I'm saying is, cut the school some slack. There are strategies that need to be put in place for the safety of all concerned. Can you imagine the public outcry if, for example, the child had a hypo at the swimming baths and the reaction from the swimming instructor was 'nobody told me'?
This isn't H&S run mad, this is called joined-up thinking.
Sorry for the lecture!
