Stamford School is training its staff and students to protect those with allergies after the Benedict Blythe Foundation published advice cards for staff and children.
The foundation, which is also based in Stamford, raised the issue with MPs recently as part of Allergy Awareness Week. Assistant Head Safeguarding & Allergy Lead Anna Kennedy says it's important to provide reassurance and education for parents and the whole school on their policy.
‘I think that's really important. I think it forms part of our safeguarding across the schools and our parents need to know that we're looking after our children, but also our children need to know that we're looking after them also. So part of our training strategy is not just for informing parents what we're doing, but we're about to do a lot of training for children and we're going to be teaching them how to use auto injectors. That's going to happen in a couple of weeks. So that's quite exciting. And we've trained all our staff also. So, you know, we're trying to make sure that all of our stakeholders are very clear on our policies, on what we do and how we keep all of our children and our staff safe’.
