[senco-forum] child with leukaemia

A boy with leukaemia has just joined our Year 1 class.  He's missed a year of schooling and is obviously likely to have periods of absence.  His treatment has just finished, for now.

I'm going to meet with Mum next week, with the class teacher.  Has anyone any experience of what is the best and most supportive way to help the family - the best start being to be guided by them.

I'm aware of some of the guidance/legislation for education of sick children but want to do the best we can.

Many thanks.
