NHS professionals called schools to allow trainers

A healthcare professional in Sheffield has introduced a petition in schools to change its same policy about the disciple’s shoes.

Francska Mackie, the lead orthutist at Sheffield Children Hospital, argues that schools need to replace “old uniform policies”, when it comes to forcing students to wear formal school shoes.

The NHS worker believes that pupils allow traditional, leather shoes to wear trainers to wear instead of leather shoes, potential discomfort in later life, foot pain and even knee problems.

“A simple change in school uniform policy to allow plain black trainers can help protect the health of hundreds of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands of children,” she

During her work at Sheffield Children’s Hospital, Ms. Mecky said that she has helped many young students to overcome issues with their feet.

An orthotist specializes in the fitting of orthos (braces or splints) and Bispok footwear to help people with difficulties of movement.

Ms. Mackie said, “I have seen the problems of the first hand, or by wearing inappropriate school shoes, have made the existing problems worse.”

“We regularly provide insole and splints, but the standard required by most UK schools seems incredibly challenging to fit old -fashioned shoes.

“Medical professionals recommend trainers to constantly grow the legs, as they provide the necessary support, shock absorption and flexibility.

“Unlike hard shoes, instructors allow for natural leg speed and better adjust orthopedic AIDS, promoting long leg health and comfort,” he said.

While many primary school students in South Yorkshire allow trainers to wear, most secondary schools include formal black shoes as a requirement.

The Associate Vice Principal at Penistone Grammar School admitted that the uniform was a “topical discussion” inside his school.

“We have an inclusive policy on uniform – worked with stakeholders for years – roughly a blazer, a tie, trousers or shorts, and smart black shoes” speaking “

“We are really proud to be part of a community here. We are a penistone and part of the community here to wear uniforms.

“However, I think there is a discussion.

“The Department of Education usually provides advice and guidance, so we will welcome it,” he said.

“We are not ancient, we are proud to include ourselves – but it is important for our motto that children represent school.”

“We do not want some students among £ 400 trainers, and others who cannot tolerate it and feel uncomfortable about it.”

Amira – who is now 14 years old – was born with legs, and some wrong and missing bones. She has been a patient at Sheffield Children Hospital since the age of three.

When she was younger, she did not crawl for a long time and later found challenging to climb the frame or play without serious pain in the playground.

He is now allowed to wear trainers in school and has a special lift pass.

“In a certain time I feel a shooting pain through my feet – it is difficult to run and walk stairs [and] In the playground, if I jump, it really hurts, “he said.

Amira has a doctor’s note that allows her to wear a padded soft instructor with a gel insole in school.

“I think they should allow everyone to wear instructor, or without medical issues – it is about being comfortable

“We are already in uniform, we are quite smart,” he said.

Amira’s mother, Rachel, agree.

“If you are working all day on your feet, wearing the same shoe can be really difficult.

“Children are similar, and their bones are still soft. You will not expect to be uncomfortable as an adult, I don’t know why it is forced to children.”

“Children coming out of school with a smile on their face are much more important than a well -organized uniform.”
