Allergy UK research states that around 5-8% of children in the UK live with a food allergy, and most school classrooms will have at least one allergic pupil. These young people are at risk of anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening reaction which requires an immediate emergency response.<\/p>\n
Common allergic triggers include nuts, cow\u2019s milk and other
\nfoods, venom from bee and wasp stings.<\/p>\n
We cannot have nuts in school in any form.<\/strong><\/p>\n So please do not put any nut products in your child\u2019s packed lunch or give them a snack containing nuts.
