The information requested is not held centrally, on the number of pupils who use medication to treat behavioural issues.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government is committed to pupils with medical conditions being properly supported at school so that they have full access to education.<\/p>
<\/p>
In 2014, the Government introduced a new duty on schools to support pupils with all medical conditions and has published statutory guidance on this for schools and others. The guidance can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/supporting-pupils-at-school-with-medical-conditions--3<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p> The guidance does not specify which medical conditions should be supported in schools. Instead, it focuses on how to meet the needs of each individual child and how their medical condition impacts on school life.<\/p> <\/p>
