Medical Alerts

The Medical Alert guidelines have been updated as of September 2022.

There are students in school who may have a physician diagnosed, potentially life-threatening medical condition, and may require emergency care by school staff. This is referred to as a Medical Alert Condition. The purpose of this document is to provide parents/guardians, students, administrators and school staff with guidelines for the development of the Medical Alert List and for managing the emergency plans for life-threatening medical conditions. Parents/guardians, students and staff all have a shared responsibility for keeping students safe at school.

Please complete a Medical Alert Plan(s) if your student has any of the following conditions:

  • Anaphylaxis
  • Asthma
  • ​Diabetes
  • ​Seizures ​
  • Other Conditions Requiring Emergency Care
The Medical Alert forms are available for you to download HERE.

 Please submit your medical alert plan(s) to the Handsworth School office as soon as possible.
