OER Details:

In the UK researchers at De Montfort University have examined the lack of care for young people with sickle cell disorder (SCD) at school (Dyson et al, 2010a, 2010b, 2011). This has resulted in the publication of a Guide to School Policy on Sickle Cell. The guide is aimed not primarily at classroom teachers (though they would be very welcome to make use of it) but at those with a broader responsibility. It is written with the following kinds of people in mind: the lead teacher for young people with a medical condition; heads of school year or those responsible for pastoral care in school; school nurses; heads of school nursing; local authority school advisors; school governors, or ministry of education officials. In short it is aimed at those who can influence how schools respond to young people with sickle cell disorder (SCD). This guide has previously been adopted by several UK sickle cell NGOs. It has now been adapted by colleagues working in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. Working with colleagues from CEHMOB MG (a multi-disciplinary organization working on sickle cell) and NUPAD part of the medical school at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) in Belo Horizonte, Kelen Sant’Anna de Lima, a post-doctoral researcher in socio-linguistics at UFMG, has co-ordinated a team of experts in sickle cell, cultural adaptation and translation to produce a Portuguese language version of the guide. As more and more young people living with sickle cell disease in Brazil grow up to become adults, it is hoped that this guide will help them to achieve the best they can at school in order to best prepare them for adult life.

The Guide was launched at the Second World Congress on Sickle Cell, which took place 11-th-14th November 2014 in Rio de Janeiro. At a special workshop delegates heard from Isabel Castro (CEHMOB MG); Kelen Santa’Anna de Lima (NUPAD); Maria Zeno Soares (FENAFAL, the Federation of Brazilian NGOs for sickle cell) Simon Dyson (De Montfort University) and from the special guest of honour Ilma Fátima de Jesus from the Brazilian Ministry of Education.
