Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she has made a recent assessment of the adequacy of allergy guidance in schools.

It is vital children with allergies are safe in schools.

Statutory guidance makes clear schools should ensure they are aware of pupils with medical conditions, including allergies, and have policies in place to ensure these are well-managed.

The department recently reminded schools of legal duties and highlighted the Schools Allergy Code, which is available online at: http://www.schoolsallergycode.com/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery.
