- Abstract
Children have a right to be safe in school: schools, in turn, have a statutory responsibility to provide a safe environment for children.[1] Schools are required to have policies to support pupils with any medical condition - including food allergies - which must be developed in the context of statutory guidance from the Department of Education.[1] However, this guidance is wholly generic and does not provide detail about specific medical conditions. Schools already have a statutory duty to provide for children with medical needs (which includes food allergy); the Department for Education should recommend schools do so by adhering to the (currently non-mandatory) guidance published by DHSC in 2017.[9] Analysis of value-based costs of undesignated school stock epinephrine policies for peanut anaphylaxis.
