Anaphylaxis UK

Anaphylaxis UK empowers individuals affected by severe allergies through education, advocacy, and support. We aim to raise awareness, improve safety, and influence policy to ensure better management of anaphylaxis in schools and communities.

Food Allergy in Schools, A whole systems approach. Protecting pupils with food allergies is fundamental to safeguarding their educational success and well-being. Safety begins with understanding how food allergies and their underlying cofactors directly impact a child&rsquo;s concentration and academic attainment. To mitigate these risks, schools must move away from isolated responsibilities and embrace a clear, whole-school approach built on distributed leadership, where every staff member plays an active role. By embedding a robust school policy, the team will gain the unwavering confidence needed for proactive allergy management and rapid emergency response. Taking these practical next steps&mdash;from auditing catering standards to securing off-site school trips&mdash;empowers your school to recognise environmental hazards and manage them decisively, ensuring a truly safe, inclusive learning environment for every child.
