Pupils with Allergies / Special Diets

Parental Responsibilities

It is the responsibility of parents to provide accurate information relating to any allergies/ special diets (backed up by medical evidence where applicable) that their child may have/ require. Children who do have medical needs will usually be under the care of a clinician and should be able to provide information confirming this, such as a letter from the hospital to the family. Parents need to be made aware that they are responsible for providing the correct information on allergies which will need to be backed up with medical evidence, whether a simple letter from the pupil's GP, letter from a consultant confirming the condition, ect.
