Media Statement 20 December 2023

The tragic preventable death of Lachlan Cook whist in the custody of his school in late 2019 has shone a light on a known workplace safety issue for students with Type 1 Diabetes. It is hoped for the sake of Lachlan’s family and the many people involved in the tragedy, that Governments and education authorities will now seize the opportunity to redress the lack of requisite training for school staff as required by Workplace safety and revise the current unlawful and inadequate school programs for all students with Type 1 Diabetes.
