IHPs An IHP can also include ACTION PLANS FOR: • LOCK DOWN SITUATIONS • SEVERE WEATHER EMERGENCIES • SCHOOL BUILDING EVACUATIONS KBN 2014
Lock Downs • In a Lock Down – the student will be confined to the classroom, or the building. • Actions to plan for during a Lock Down: How will the student access food? How will the student access the glucometer? How will the student access the insulin? KBN 2014
Lock Downs • If the student is confined to a classroom – is the school employee in that classroom trained on how to handle the needs of the student with diabetes? • How long might the Lock Down continue? • Do you as the designated health care individual in that building have a means of communication with the classroom where the student is confined? • Are there extra supplies in the student’s kit, backpack, or classroom? KBN 2014
WEATHER EMERGENCIES The same questions will arise for weather emergencies • How will the student access the needed supplies, medication, and food during a weather emergency? • The age of the student must be considered in planning for weather emergencies. • Does the student carry a diabetes care kit, or back pack? KBN 2014
IHPs • Develop emergency plan and communicate to school staff, parent, and health care provider. • Collaborate on any needed changes to the IHP throughout the school year. • The IHP is effective only for the current school year. • A new IHP, specific to the student must be developed each year. KBN 2014
IHPs • A copy of the IHP is available to school staff on a “need to know” basis. • Confidentiality of the health information is to be maintained at all times. • Provide the necessary training for all school staff regarding the DMMP and IHP plan for care. • Obtain release of medical information permission form.
