(32105) Allergy Action Plans

Allergy Action Plans

Allergy Action Plans are an essential part of keeping children with allergies safe in school. They provide clear, individual guidance on how to prevent allergic reactions and respond quickly in an emergency.

Each child with an allergy should have a personalised allergy action plan, completed by a healthcare professional and shared with the school.

The British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology (BCASI) is the UK’s professional organisation for allergy specialists. It provides guidance and standard templates, including allergy action plans used in schools.

 Allergy Action Plans include details about:

• The child’s allergies and triggers
• The signs and symptoms of a reaction
• What to do in the event of a mild or severe reaction
• When and how to administer medication, including adrenaline
• Emergency contact details

Plans are designed to be clear, consistent and easy to follow, even in an emergency.
