Understanding the Changing Allergy Responsibilities for Boards and Schools
Join the CEO of the Allergy Team, Sarah Knight, and NGA policy experts to hear about the new allergy responsibilities facing schools and trusts in September.
With the DfE updating the statutory of guidance on supporting pupils with medical conditions at school, we can expect a series of fresh expectations for boards to ensure pupils with allergies are championed and protected. We will explain these new expectations, and give attendees practical advice on meeting them in their school or trust.
The session will be helpful for all governors, trustees and governance professionals, as the new guidance impacts those governing in all settings. It will be especially relevant for safeguarding governors as they get to grips with the expansion of safeguarding expectations.
