ISBA’s Template Policy, created in partnership with The Allergy Team, is offered as guidance to help schools to prepare an Allergy and Anaphylaxis Policy that suits their own circumstances and community.\nWHY IS AN ALLERGY POLICY IMPORTANT?\nAllergy occurs when a person reacts to a substance that is usually considered harmless.  It is an immune response and instead of ignoring the substance, the body produces histamine which triggers an allergic reaction.\nMost allergic reactions are mild, causing minor symptoms but some can be very serious and cause anaphylaxis which is a life-threatening medical emergency.\nPeople can be allergic to almost anything, but serious allergic reactions are caused most commonly by food, insect venom (such as a wasp or bee stings), latex and medication.\nAllergic disease is the most common chronic condition in childhood. On average, one or two children in every class of 30 will have a food allergy so it’s vital the whole school community understands allergy, risk prevention and knows what to do in an emergency.\nA severe allergic reaction can cause risk to life but even a mild to moderate reaction or near-miss can have widespread consequences.\nHaving a robust Allergy and Anaphylaxis Policy ensures everyone:\nis clear on procedures\nunderstands their responsibility for reducing the risk of allergic reactions happening\nknows how to respond appropriately if an allergic reaction occurs\nResponsibility for a school’s Allergy and Anaphylaxis Policy lies with The School.\nThe policy is a dynamic document and should be regularly reviewed and monitored by the Designated Allergy Lead, the School's Senior Management Team and its Governors. Schools will have a strong and effective management team in place in order to implement this policy.\nThis Allergy and Anaphylaxis Policy must be publicly available and clearly communicated to all pupils, school staff and parents.\nABOUT THIS TEMPLATE POLICY\nThis Template Policy has been drawn up by The Allergy Team and reviewed by Paediatric Allergy Consultant, Professor Adam Fox.\nThis is a template for a school to draw up their own Allergy and Anaphylaxis Policy. No policy can contain an exhaustive list of procedures and scenarios or prevent all allergic reactions. This Template Policy is subject to The Allergy Team’s \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://theallergyteam.com/terms-conditions/\" \u0014Terms and Conditions\u0015 which can be found on their website (theallergyteam.com), and which contain, among other things, limitation on The Allergy Team’s liability.\nThis is general guidance that should be adapted for your school as appropriate, in some places we have used square brackets and highlighted suggested text to help. It has been written predominantly with pupils in mind but can be adapted to include staff and visitors.\nWhere the Template Policy refers to corresponding documents, such as another policy, Schools should ensure that those documents are also up to date and meet statutory requirements.\n\u000f\nALLERGY AND ANAPHYLAXIS POLICY\n[NAME OF SCHOOL]\n[DATE OF POLICY]\n[REVIEW DATE FOR POLICY]\n[AUTHOR / PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS POLICY]\nCONTENTS:\nAims and objectives\nWhat is an allergy?\nDefinitions\nRoles and responsibilities\nAssessing and managing risk\n1.

It also sets out how we support our pupils with allergies to ensure their wellbeing and inclusion, as well as demonstrating our commitment to being an Allergy Aware School.\nThis policy applies to all staff, pupils, parents and visitors to the school and should be read alongside these other policies:\n[School to insert related policies, for example Medical Condi","cbCaihACPoX1ron5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihACPoX1ron5","docx",286559,"English","# Aims and objectives\n# What is an allergy?\n# Definitions\n# Roles and responsibilities\n# Assessing and managing risk","[{\"question\":\"Why is an allergy policy important for schools?\",\"answer\":\"Allergies involve an immune response that can range from mild symptoms to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
