Update in the Joint Protocol when medical reasons are cited

An updated version of the Joint Protocol between Health Services and Schools in respect of the management of pupil absence from school when medical reasons are cited is now available.

You can also find the updated version by searching the Norfolk Safeguarding Children Partnership website.

Schools should refer to the protocol and use the flowchart and forms provided in relation to pupil absence when medical reasons are cited and when sourcing health guidance to make a referral to the Medical Needs Service.
