Practical step-by-step guide

Discuss school support and illness-related absences

A practical planning guide: questions to ask and documents to organise. Follow the linked canonical service records for sources, criteria and current application routes.

Practical next steps

  1. Ask for a meeting with the school’s inclusion lead and relevant professionals.
  2. Describe barriers to attending, accessing lessons, communication, fatigue or physical participation without assuming a diagnosis dictates the support.
  3. Ask how the school will share learning materials during appointments or admissions and how absences will be recorded.
  4. Ask whether formal educational assessment or the Statementing process is appropriate.
  5. Discuss an agreed communication plan between family, school and clinicians, including what information may be shared.
  6. Ask about accessible equipment, assessments and school transitions.
  7. Check how any plan will be reviewed and who is your main school contact.
