Anaphylaxis & Asthma Safe School Programme

Prevention

PREVENTION PROGRAMME

Ensuring the safety of pupils with allergies in schools goes beyond knowing what to do in an emergency; it also involves preventing pupils from being exposed to the allergens causing allergic reactions.

While many schools have implemented nut bans, current thinking suggests that this may provide a false sense of security, as schools cannot completely prevent nuts from inadvertently entering the building. The current best practice guidance recommends that schools adopt an “allergy-aware” rather than an “allergy-free” approach and educate the school community accordingly.

This interactive Prevention Program offers comprehensive training on how to reduce the risk of allergen exposure and how to implement specific tools and resources. Additionally, the program incorporates strategies for adopting a school-wide approach.

It is particularly relevant for teachers and class-based staff who directly support pupils with asthma and allergies.
