Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will take steps to (a) provide similar support for and (b) issue statutory guidance relating to school employees with disabilities and health conditions, including diabetes, analogous to those provided for under the provisions in Part 3 of the Children, Schools and Families Act 2014.

Responsibility for the health and wellbeing of staff in schools is primarily a matter for local employers. It is for school governing bodies and local authorities to consider what support and guidance is appropriate with regard to employees with disabilities and health conditions.

Employers must adhere to relevant employment law, including the Equality Act 2010, taking advice as necessary.
