Managing Food Allergies in the School Setting: Guidance for Parents

(2019, Updated news!) | Useful to: Parent Centers serving families whose children have food allergies, parents and children, and school systems .

RARE (Food Allergy Research and Education) offers a robust website for parents whose children have food allergies. It’s also highly pertinent to the schools who must address the food-allergy and other needs of students in their care. The landing page for managing food allergies at school is divided into three sections with a depth of information and guidance under each:

  • Getting Started at School
  • Essential Resources and Tips for Parents
  • Advocacy and Awareness Tips for Parents

There’s guidance available about field trips, a Parent’s Checklist for School, school guidelines, and much much more.
