Welcome to the information site for all staff involved in supporting children and young people with diabetes in nurseries, schools and other education and extra-curricular settings.

You are invited to watch the series of short videos that cover different aspects of managing diabetes. Once you have watched the complete series, please complete the diabetes knowledge assessment. You may wish to access these videos for reference throughout the academic year. Please note that they can be viewed with or without subtitles.
