Hope Janice is recovering wel.

In answer to Luisa, we take pupils with various difficulties including
unstable diabetes and epilepsy into small rooms or even offices to keep an
eye on them without any extra paperwork - though obviously there is a need
for invigilators. For diabetics I have never done any extra paperwork.

Hope you are feeling better Janice,I will ask the caretaker what they use in
our gym on Monday.
Talking about heat and poorly ventilated gyms, I have a pupil who has a
statement of SEN and she is also diabetic. She does not qualify for reader/
scribe, only extra time. As we are a small school and space is at a premium
, the examination officer suggested that she does her GCSEs in the gym with
the others. I am not happy with this (neither is the parent). Am I being
fussy? And is it necessary to fill in extra forms and stuff for someone who
has diabetes?

Sorry to hear about your tumble hope you are not to sore today . Did you
report to Health and Safety Officer? > > We use the gym and it gets covered

the gym especially as we move into main exam period is the heat . The very
high windows have no blinds and let in very little air - it has been known
for students to pass out in the heat and once one of the invigilators
collapsed. We now have a supply of cold water outside just in case students
doing longer papers begin to flag. > > Take care > > > Gaynor> > > > From:
