Congratulations to @ChrisBloore for tabling the Schools Allergy Safety Bill in Parliament today. Calling for clear allergy policies, staff training, and spare emergency medication in every school. #AllergyAwareness #Anaphylaxis #AllergySchool
Allergy related child fatalities happen more in school than any other setting. Tomorrow, I will be tabling the Schools (Allergy Safety) Bill to try and change that. I’m calling for schools to have an allergy policy, for staff to undergo allergy training, and for spare AAIs.
“The Government may ignore #allergy, but we won’t go away. Natasha’s Foundation will continue to fight for an Allergy Tsar.” - Tanya and Nadim Ednan-Laperouse OBEs, Founders of The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation
-We've been campaigning since 2021 for an Allergy Tsar. -We’ve met with 6 Government ministers. -There have been debates in Parliament. -The UK public are behind us. -But today? #Allergy has again been left out of the #nhs10yearplan @Keir_Starmer @wesstreeting @AshleyDalton_MP
1 in 3 people in the UK live with #allergies. That’s 20 million people and still, the #Government has chosen to leave #allergy out of its long-term health strategy. @Keir_Starmer @wesstreeting @AshleyDalton_MP
Today the Government revealed its new #nhs10yearplan - a plan “fit for the future.”but they’ve forgotten something huge…Allergy. Once again, it’s been ignored. Not even on the agenda. 📝 Read the NHS Plan here: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6866387f…
Thanks to Cllr Adrian Tipple - outgoing Chair of @BroadlandDC for raising £5K+ for Natasha’s Foundation & boosting allergy awareness! We wish you every success in your new role as Vice-Chair, and we look forward to continuing this journey together towards a safer future.
A takeaway restaurant served a "nut-free" curry to a man with a severe nut allergy - it contained 4 types of nuts. He went into anaphylactic shock. Staff had no allergy training. Another case highlighting why mandatory allergen training is urgently needed. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
