[QUOTE="EmmaRW0811, post: 1313609, member: 353891"] I'm feeling quite frustrated this evening. My son went back to school Friday afternoon and has been in as normal this week. But the after school club are making me jump through more and more hoops. I started discussing it with them last week. I organised all the supplies on Monday and prepared care plans - I even got them a spare pen and spare insulin even though I can't think at the moment of any reason why he'd inject insulin at that time of day. This morning I was late into work because I sat with one of the senior staff members for over an hour going through every little detail of his care plan. I'd done all their paperwork for them - risk assessments, medicine approval forms, wrote about hypos (which we have yet to experience) and even what to do if he collapses unconscious (not a pleasant thing to think through). It took a lot of research for me to do that - and I got it checked with his diabetes nurse. I went to school cheerful because they seemed to have agreed to take him back. And he went there tonight. But when I collected him they asked me to keep him off again tomorrow(!) because when the person I'd been talking to had tried explaining it all to the other senior managers they panicked. I'm frustrated and tired - I feel like I did far more than was necessary, and it's still not enough. My boss has been understanding (fortunately) - but after a full week off last week and early finishes and late starts this week, I'm well behind and the pressure is mounting at work. What with the normal stress of adapting to the rest of this (I used to have him on school dinners and making packed lunches is driving me crazy), that extra work stress is not helping. And breathe ... no point getting too annoyed with it. But, has anyone got any advice on how to help the after school club learn what they need to learn? And does anyone have any school holiday club experience? [/QUOTE]
