According to Charities, schools were not supporting diabetic pupils and demanding parents to treat their child. The Diabetes charities, which surveyed about 70 percent of 2,500 schools, said that when pupils could not inject themselves, parents are asked to assist them.

According to the survey, Diabetic children were also missing out on school trips. 83 percent of diabetic children were not achieving recommended glucose levels.

This increases the risk of range of complications from Type 1 diabetes including fits and comas, unconsciousness and serious longer term problems, such as blindness, amputation and kidney disease.

Diabetes UK, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, support group Input and UK Children with Diabetes Advocacy Group recommended that schools should provide training to staff for diabetes care and when necessary bring in outside staff for assistance in administering injections.

50 percent of Local Education Authorities (LEAs) surveyed said they had funding for diabetes care, only 30 percent of schools knew some form of financial support.

The National Union Teachers said it fully supported the recommendations.

A spokesperson from Department for Children, Schools and Families, said, “We have issued specific guidance to schools to plan effectively for trips and to adapt teaching of sports to meet individual needs.”
