“Young people diagnosed with cancer must be better supported in their education during an extremely challenging time, helping to give them hope for a brighter future.”
“Of all the challenges a child with cancer faces in their treatment and recovery, the last thing they should have to worry about is a lack of adequate educational resources. That is why I am delighted to support Teach Cancer A Lesson.”
“Education is important for everyone and that includes children with cancer. Everything possible must be done to try to make sure that these children don’t fall behind – but just as important is that they are able to be part of the excitement and satisfaction that good teaching brings.”
“It is vital that children with cancer are properly supported in their education, giving them the best hope for the future.”

“A child’s education is imperative to their growth and development. We cannot allow a cancer diagnosis to be a barrier to that.”
“Having had a child with cancer, we saw first-hand the impact treatment had on our daughter. When she returned to school her immediate needs were addressed – but there is so little awareness of the long-term effects of treatment. Too often, children with cancer miss out on a substantial amount of education. It is essential their needs are met by having an EHCP in place. That is why we are backing this campaign.”
“Children with cancer face so many hurdles on their road to recovery. We must ensure that every educational resource is available to them.”
“We must highlight the hurdles faced by children in education when dealing with a cancer diagnosis. No child should be left behind and that is why I am delighted to support this campaign.”
“Children diagnosed with cancer have to bear great suffering and experience huge challenges. Their education should not be one of them – it cannot be right that children face a postcode lottery on the level of educational support they receive. That is why I fully support this campaign.”
“For children with cancer, the requirement that there should be an Education Health and Care Plan would underpin and remind everyone of the many kinds of special consideration that are called for in this crisis for the child and the family.”
“I am delighted to support this campaign as I believe every young person battling cancer should have the right to a secure and fair education”
