School-age Room — Allergy lists Self test

In the serving area, post a list of children who have allergies and their respective allergies.

Develop an individual plan for each child with life-threatening allergies (anaphylaxis) that includes emergency procedures.

RATIONALE

It is common to have children in care who suffer allergic reactions to certain foods. Since the outcome may be serious, a list of known allergies of specific children should be readily available in areas of food preparation and consumption so that allergic reactions may be avoided.

GOOD PRACTICE

Any lists or procedures should be examined frequently to ensure currency.
