A new educational programme called Allergy School has been launched by The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation.
It has been designed to help teachers create inclusive and safe environments in nurseries, primary schools and out of school clubs and groups for children with food allergies. Everyone wants children to feel safe and protected at school – but sometimes children with food allergies can feel excluded, and this can have an impact on their ability to join in activities in and out of the classroom.
Resources include five films for pupils and teachers including a quiz and first aid advice, engaging lesson plans and assembly packs for Key Stages 1 and 2. There is also a self-assessment checklist assessment tool to determine how allergy friendly the school is and how to improve the safety and wellbeing of food allergic pupils, first aid advice and more.
