How Diabetes Training for School Staff Helps Your Business Stay Compliant
Schools and other educational settings are legally obligated to support children with diabetes. The Equality Act 2010 and the Children and Families Act 2014 mandate that children with medical conditions like diabetes receive appropriate care and support in schools. This course helps school staff meet those legal obligations by teaching them how to manage diabetes emergencies, collaborate with parents, and ensure that diabetic children receive the care they need while at school.
