The Ontario Ministry of Education provides direction to school boards (via PPM 161) to have policies and procedures in place to support children and students with certain medical conditions in schools, including Anaphylaxis, Asthma, Diabetes and Epilepsy.
We do not offer training or nursing care to individual students related to medical conditions.
Schools are encouraged to review their School Board policies and procedures pertaining to the prevention and management of anaphylaxis and other prevalent medical conditions, including training requirements. Additional information and resources are available on the Ministry of Education website.
Ontario Health811 can help students and their families get connected to health care. Call 811 (TTY: 1-866-797-0007) or chat online. (Services also available in French).
