About the Best practice guidelines

Best practice guidelines for anaphylaxis prevention and management in Schools

While these Best practice guidelines have been developed for schools, it may be useful for students to understand what schools and should be putting in place to be Allergy Aware.

These Best practice guidelines aim to provide guidance and support to reduce the risk of anaphylaxis in schools while supporting students to participate in the full range of school activities, including camps.
