The policy must be tailored to each organisation and information needed to be personalized is in orange text. The term ‘provider’ is used to represent: nurseries, pre-providers and child minders whether provider, charity or independently controlled.\nThe named staff members (at least 2) responsible for coordinating staff anaphylaxis training and the upkeep of the provider’s anaphylaxis policy are:\n_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _\n_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _\nContents\nIntroduction\nRoles and responsibilities\nAllergy action plans\nEmergency treatment and management of anaphylaxis\nSupply, storage and care of medication\n‘Spare’ adrenaline auto-injectors in the provider\nStaff training\nInclusion and safeguarding\nFood\nTrips\nAllergy awareness and nut bans\nRisk assessment\nUseful links\nIntroduction\nAn allergy is a reaction of the body’s immune system to substances that are usually harmless. The reaction can cause minor symptoms such as itching, sneezing or rashes but sometimes causes a much more severe reaction called anaphylaxis.\nAnaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction. The whole body is affected often within minutes of exposure to the allergen, but sometimes it can be hours later. Causes can include foods, insect stings, and drugs.\nMost healthcare professionals consider an allergic reaction to be anaphylaxis when it involves difficulty breathing or affects the heart rhythm or blood pressure. Anaphylaxis symptoms are often referred to as the ABC symptoms (Airway, Breathing, Circulation).\nIt is possible to be allergic to anything which contains a protein, however most people will react to a fairly small group of potent allergens.\nCommon UK Allergens include (but are not limited to):\nPeanuts, Tree Nuts, Sesame, Milk, Egg, Fish, Latex, Insect venom, Pollen and Animal Dander.\nThis policy sets out how {insert name of provider} will support children with allergies, to ensure they are safe and are not disadvantaged in any way whilst taking part in provider life.\nRole and responsibilities\nParent Responsibilities\nOn entry to the provider, it is the parent’s responsibility to inform the setting Manager of any allergies. This information should include all previous serious allergic reactions, history of anaphylaxis and details of all prescribed medication.\nParents are to supply a copy of their child’s Allergy Action Plan (\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.bsaci.org/new-bsaci-allergy-actions-plans-for-children-available/\" \\h \u0014BSACI plans\u0015 preferred) to provider. If they do not currently have an Allergy Action Plan this should be developed as soon as possible in collaboration with a healthcare professional e.g. GP/allergy specialist.\nParents are responsible for ensuring any required medication is supplied, in date and replaced as necessary.\nParents are requested to keep the provider up to date with any changes in allergy management. The Allergy Action Plan will be kept updated accordingly.\nStaff Responsibilities\nProviders must ensure that all staff are aware of the symptoms and treatments for allergies and anaphylaxis, the differences between allergies and intolerances and that children can develop allergies at any time, especially during the introduction of solid foods which is sometimes called complementary feeding or weaning. Training is provided for all staff on a yearly basis and on an ad-hoc basis for any new members of staff.\nChildren must always be within sight and hearing of a member of staff whilst eating. Where possible, staff should sit facing children whilst they eat so they can prevent food sharing and be aware of any unexpected allergic reactions.\nBefore a child is admitted to the setting the Manager must obtain information about any food allergies that the child has.
