Teachers have a really important role to play in encouraging the child’s integration back into a school routine. But cancer is a scary word for many and it is completely normal for teachers and others working at the school to feel upset – not just for the awful situation facing the pupil and their family, but also for the impact on the rest of the class and school community.
As a teacher, you may feel daunted about what to expect and worried about not having the confidence or expertise to deal with the child returning to school.
This guide aims to lessen some of the worries you may have by giving simple practical information and advice on a variety of issues faced by the child and their family, and some ideas on how to help them within a school setting.
This edition was reviewed and edited by the CCLG information team in conjunction with the CCLG Information Advisory Group, comprising parents, survivors and multiprofessional experts in the field of children’s cancer.
