Talking T1 – Learning about type 1 diabetes is part of JDRF’s schools programme.  The pack has been developed to help teachers and pupils understand more about the care of and needs of children with type 1 diabetes.

The toolkit is totally free and contains information and support for the whole school community, from teaching staff to other parents. It also contains class activity plans.

Talking T1 – Learning about type 1 diabetes complements DCSF and DH guidance on Managing Medicine in Schools and Early Years Settings.

How to get hold of a pack?

If you are a parent/guardian
We have sent an order form to every primary school in the UK. If you have a child of primary school age, you may also wish to contact their school to make sure they order a pack. We have drafted a template letter with information about the pack, for you to personalise and take into your child’s school. Download the template letter to schools here. 

If you are a child and have type 1
We have sent a letter to every primary school in the UK about this so ask your parent/ guardian to speak to your teacher about it.  If they haven’t heard about it yet, tell them to visit this website.

If you are part of a school community or healthcare professional
If you haven’t already, you can order your free cross-curricular resources and management tool kit by calling 0870 240 1640 or by completing and returning the order form sent to your school.
