Allergy in Schools
Launched by the Anaphylaxis campaign and easy to navigate. Has information for everyone including:
- Parents
- Students
- Teachers
- Nurses
- Caterers
- Preschools
There is a sample protocol that can be found under the teacher’s tab. The protocol forms an agreement that the best possible support is in place for both the child and the school staff.
Many schools have found it essential to drawn up an individual protocol for any child with a severe allergy. This is agreed by the parents, the school (in consultation with the school nurse), the child's treating doctor, and the education authority. The protocol deals with all of the important issues, including:
- The symptoms
- To Food Services
- Emergency procedure
- Medication
- Food management
- Staff training
- Precautionary measures
- Professional indemnity
- Consent and agreement
