Fit Notes and School Aged Children:-

Schools and colleges should note that GP's will not provide sick notes in support of special consideration applications.  A medical certificate is not necessary when making an application for special consideration where a candidate misses an exam or their performance in an exam is affected as a result of a temporary illness/injury.  As long as the school/college supports the application for special consideration this is considered sufficient evidence.

Please arrange to discuss your child's educational requirements directly with the school.  Your relationship with the school should be such that the school is able to submit an application to the examination board without the need of GP evidence.

If a child is off with a long-term condition, they will be under a specialist and they will be responsible for providing an assessment if requested.

If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you’ve been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you’ve been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.
