Children & Families Bill
The second reading of the Children and Families Bill is due on February 25th 2013 and the Anaphylaxis Campaign is calling for the Bill to be strengthened on the issue of support for children with health conditions in schools.
We want you to get involved by lobbying your Member of Parliament (MP). Send your MP this briefing either by email or post and ask him or her to support the addition of a statutory duty on schools when managing children with health conditions.
You can further help by going online to Children and Families Bill Public Reading: Additional Comments - UK Parliament and adding the following comments:
We feel that the Children and Families bill should be strengthened so that:
- Schools are required to produce and implement medical conditions policies.
- School inspections look at how a school supports children with health conditions and what outcomes those children have, as part of well-being indicators.
- All school staff are enabled to support children with health conditions through appropriate training and support.
- NHS bodies and local authorities have a statutory requirement to help schools fulfil their responsibilities.
Don’t delay, act quickly as the second reading is next Monday 25th Feb and the closing date for comments online is Tuesday February 26th.
