The Allergy Team is holding its first ever event to support young people with allergies with the transition to secondary school and I wondered if you might be able to share the details with any of your families who might benefit.
When we support schools with managing allergies one of the things we discuss is how to ease the transition for pupils who are about to move up to senior school.
At this stage pupils will be expected to take more responsibility for their allergy medication and are likely to face new challenges in the dining hall or out socialising with friends.
To support families we are holding an in-person workshop for pupils in Years 5-7 and their parents or carers. I would be grateful if you could share this information with any families currently at your school who you think might be interested in attending. If you are a secondary or senior school and you know you have pupils with allergies joining in September, please feel free to share this information with them too. |
