The Ministry of Education has created a policy statement related to supporting students living with potentially life-threatening medical conditions.
The ministry recognizes that all students have the right to a safe, healthy and inclusive school environment, where the daily and emergent health and safety needs of students are met. Schools have a duty to promote well-being and accommodate the health and safety needs of students living with potentially life-threatening medical condition(s), as determined by a qualified health practitioner such as a nurse practitioner, physician or allergist.
Potentially life-threatening medical conditions may include medical conditions such as allergies, asthma, diabetes, epilepsy and/or other medical conditions that require daily or ongoing management with the potential to result in a medical incident or life threatening emergency.
