Schools in England could struggle to implement new policies for children with medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes and cancer, head teachers say.

From September, governing bodies will have a duty - under the Children and Families Act 2014 - to ensure schools make arrangements for these pupils.

A medical conditions policy will be required, ensuring pupils with such issues have full access to education.

Guidelines are being sent to all pupil referral units, schools and academies.
