Severe allergies present quite a challenge to both parents and schools. Many schools and pre-schools are finding that cases of peanut allergy, milk allergy, egg allergy and other allergies are on the increase. The good news is that even the most extreme form of allergy – anaphylaxis – is manageable in schools. But what staff and parents need is accurate, reliable information. This is what this website aims to provide.

Allergy in Schools is an advisory website designed by the Anaphylaxis Campaign, an independent charity guided by leading UK allergists. Information on these pages is given in good faith. However, all of us are different and individual cases need individual attention. Please be guided by your GP or consultant.

Going on a school trip? Ensure your Healthcare Plan goes on the trip too. Before going, have a meeting with the teacher to decide who will be responsible for your medication and do a risk assessment with your allergies in mind..
