<p>Non-statutory guidance, ‘Managing Medicines in Schools and Early Years Settings,
is available to schools to help them manage medicines and supporting children with
medical needs.</p><p>From September 2014, there will be a new duty, (introduced in
the Children and Families Act 2014), on governing bodies of maintained schools (and
proprietors of academies) to make arrangements to support pupils at school with medical
conditions and to have regard to statutory guidance. The guidance (upon which we have
consulted publicly) will set out the requirements on schools to support children with
medical conditions, which we would expect them to apply to conditions like diabetes.</p><p>
