Aim: This webinar will ensure that you and your staff have an appreciation of how pupils with medical needs can be better supported. It will highlight how such needs may impact engagement and learning, and explore how settings can ensure the safety of children with medical needs and allergies, while meeting statutory responsibilities. 

Why this webinar’s important: All staff have a duty of care to the children in their setting, with the Equality Act 2010 defining a disability as an impairment that has “an adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities”. No matter the type of these medical needs, it’s imperative that staff recognise how they can make adjustments to successfully support children and understand how engagement with learning may be impacted.
