Allergen policy
Allergy awareness and nut bans
InspireU College supports an allergy awareness approach rather than implementing blanket bans on specific allergens.
As no setting can guarantee a completely allergen-free environment, the college will focus on:
- education and awareness.
- appropriate risk management
- safe food handling practices
- prompt emergency response procedures
A whole-college approach helps ensure staff and learners understand:
- what allergies are
- how to reduce risks
- signs and symptoms of allergic reactions
How to respond appropriately in an emergency.
