Together for Short Lives - Helping children who need Palliative Care to access education
Did you know that there are 40,000 children and young people in England who have a life-limiting or life-threatening condition? Many of them access education from a range of providers - including mainstream schools, further education and early years settings. If you taught a child who had a life-limiting condition, would you or your colleagues know what to do? <SEND>
Together for Short Lives - the leading UK charity for babies, children and young people with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions - has published an interactive online resource for education providers in England. Free to download and use, our resource will help you answer the following questions:
What is children's palliative care? Who needs it?
What do children with life-limiting conditions need to help them access an education? Does this vary according to different conditions, and how?
What should education providers do to meet these needs? What are they obliged to do? What should they do?
