A FAMILY of a young diabetes sufferer have won a landmark ruling after he was forced to miss almost two months of education as his school could not give him insulin injections.
Callum Wyper, seven, was supposed to have received support to manage the condition, including administration of the drug.
North Lanarkshire Council has been criticised by a tribunal for the failure of its staff to ensure he got the injections at Dykehead Primary School in Shotts.
It relied on volunteers from among existing school staff to support pupils with diabetes with their insulin regimes.
