Allergies in Schools : How to Support Teachers, Leaders and Students
After the tragic death of 15-year-old Natasha Ednan-Laperouse in 2016 from a severe allergic reaction, her parents founded The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation. Their campaign led to the introduction of Natasha’s Law in October 2021, requiring full ingredient labelling on all prepacked foods.
In this episode, Tanya Ednan-Laperouse OBE joins NAHT’s James Bowen to discuss the Foundation’s free allergy training for schools through the Allergy School programme. She explains how allergy awareness in schools and simple policies can help keep pupils with food allergies safe.
