SPECIAL DIET PROCEDURES<\/u><\/h5>\n

Diets required as a result of a medical condition (a medically prescribed diet e.g. coeliac disease, diabetes, PKU, food allergy or intolerance) can be provided in school by our catering staff.\u00a0 A medically prescribed diet form must be completed and signed by the child\u2019s Registered Dietician or General Practitioner.\u00a0 Procedures and forms can be accessed online through North Lanarkshire Council\u2019s website, by the school, the catering service or also in some cases by the child\u2019s dietitian or doctor.\u00a0 For some conditions (PKU, coeliac) parents may be asked to supply prescription foods or attend a meeting to discuss the child\u2019s dietary requirements.<\/p>\n

Some children with additional support needs may require food to be adapted to an appropriate texture and consistency.\u00a0 In this instance the child\u2019s Registered Dietician or Speech and Language Therapist will liaise with the Head Teacher and school catering service including the nutritionist to ensure appropriate food provision. In this case a form will still need to be signed by a medical professional including a Speech and Language Therapist.<\/p>\n

It is important that the Head Teacher is aware of any medically prescribed diets within the school and on occasion may be asked to attend a meeting.<\/p>\n

Forms that have not been signed by a medical professional will be rejected. The form will be returned to the parent along with a letter stating the reason for the refusal and also they will be issued with a new form.<\/p>\n

Any change in the child\u2019s dietary requirements must be advised through a Registered Dietitian or Medical Practitioner to the Facilities Support Services (FSS) Nutritionist. When children move to a High School or change schools FSS will need to be informed as soon as possible.\u00a0 Special Diets such as Vegan and ethnic diets can also be accommodated. In this case a form b should be completed and can be signed by the parent.<\/p>\n

All completed forms should be returned to the email specialdiet@northlan.gov.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<\/header>\n
