[QUOTE="Grant_Vicat, post: 1761055, member: 388932"] Not that I would want to disappoint any child who might be going on a trip, it is difficult to comment on a particular case from an outside party's viewpoint. All I can say is that discrimination is not necessarily thoughtless victimisation, abuse or exclusion. Take for example health checks for issuing licences. Although I found it (and still, ironically do) a pain having to wade through the DVLA forms every 3 years, I classed the process as "positive discrimination" in that it protected the public as well as concentrated my mind on my responsibilities behind the wheel of a potentially lethal machine. In the case of Kodi Walcott, I really hope that she has the chance to accompany her friends. I agree with [USER=112460]@Dr Snoddy[/USER], being a teacher myself, in that staff are not just guardians and instructors, but could be targets for litigation, not that I am suggesting that [USER=278050]@Mrs.Walcott[/USER] would take such a path. As I know from my own experience, people with little or no experience of handling diabetic episodes tend to show real anxiety when faced with the possibility. No parent would agree to put me up for a night from diagnosis at 11 months till 13 years old. It certainly wasn't "fair", but I understood the reasons. Although diabetes is touched on in First Aid courses, reality is somewhat different. [/QUOTE]
