Not really sure where to ask this but I need to know what the insurance issues are with schools when it comes to feeding a child in a different way. What are their risk assessment policies? What their insurance covers? How it is interpreted?
I know any answers will only be generalised but any light that can be shed and any direction would be brilliant.
The problem briefly is DD is severely disabled and fed through a tube into her stomach. She is to attend a MS school soon. Normally children with gastrostomies are fed a type of 'complete' formula milk but many including DD vomit, reflux and are not thriving on this milk. We have now changed to feeding whole, natural, normal food, blended and fed through the tube and DDs health and wellbeing has improved beyond recognition. However her proposed school insists on formula feeds and the dietician says the schools insurer will not contemplate this feeding.
We need to know why the schools insurance is interpreting this like this. We have done a dieticians risk assessment and will sign a disclaimer but still they refuse. Any ideas how we can appeal and to whom?
