[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 2150955, member: 468055"] A child of nine should really be able to last an hour between toilet breaks, and that’s the length of lessons in most schools, I believe? Even a child with diabetes, assuming her sugars are maintained at healthy levels - perhaps she has an underlying issue like a UTI that needs further investigation? High blood sugars can cause polyuria, especially if she’s drinking extra because high levels are making her thirsty. However, if she genuinely and regularly needs to go more often, she’s covered under the Equalities Act 2010 and should be provided with a toilet pass as a “reasonable adjustment”. You need to talk to the school and add this to her care plan, assuming she already has instructions in place for the school to help her manage her diabetes. [/QUOTE]
