If your child requires a special diet for school meals that we are unaware of, please follow these steps:
- Parent/Guardian to inform school that their child has a special dietary requirement.
- School to provide Special Diet Application form and Special Diet Medical form to Parent/Guardian.
- Parent/Guardian to complete Special Diet Application form and Special Diet Medical form (if required) and return to school.
- Meeting to be arranged with School, Parent/Guardian and School Catering Service to outline roles and responsibilities. A meeting may not be required for all special diet applications but it is advised for all pupils requiring a medically prescribed diet.
- Outcome of meeting to be recorded using the Special Diets Meeting Outcomes form.
- School to carry out a risk assessment.
- Perform regular review of special diet and all parties to communicate any changes to requirements or provision.
