Dr Sarah Anderson and Jennifer Falvey, a School of Education alumni, have published an article in the journal Research, Advocacy, and Practice for Complex and Chronic conditions, A Journal for Physical, Health, and Multiple Disabilities from the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC). In the article the authors evaluate evidence about effective and inclusive care management strategies for learners with type 1 diabetes in UK primary schools. Approximately 29,000 children in the UK are currently living with special health care needs of type 1 diabetes (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, 2021a), and governing policies indicate an inconsistent approach to learner care, highlighting the need for improved school services. Findings included clear identification of key stakeholder roles, collaborative working, provision of adequate school staff training, enabling student self-management, and delivery of individual healthcare plans. https://eprints.gla.ac.uk/315321/
