Equity in Education for children with medical needs

The barriers are not in the abilities of our pupils, but in the disparate opportunities they are afforded by the impact of their medical condition. Pupils with medical conditions are likely to be victims of an education opportunity gap which is unfair and far from inclusive. Pupils who miss the most education require more support and resources than their peers to succeed.

Client Testimonials

The Medical Needs In Schools Project has brought fresh, practical ideas to schools and has provided links to expert advice from colleagues within the NHS to support the management of individual pupils and develop and improve school cultures around the inclusion of vulnerable pupils
The project assisted with getting everyone, including parents, together for multi-disciplinary meetings. This enabled everyone to voice concerns around the child’s health and listen to the ideas around how to meet his needs in school.
Their corporate advice and the care and attention of individual colleagues at the OHS have been invaluable in supporting me, the school and most importantly students and their families. The outreach workers have worked tirelessly to ensure poorly students in need of long-term care do not lose touch with their education. The OHS is innovative in its approaches.
