Online Q&A: allergies and educational visits
How confident are you about managing allergies on educational visits? Are you doing all you can to ensure that children and young people with allergies are safe and included in schools trips and residential visits?
In this interactive webinar for EVCs, teachers and school staff involved in managing educational visits, EVOLVE Advice’s Andy Smith and Sarah Knight of The Allergy Team answered questions on allergies and how to support children and young people with allergies when offsite on school trips and visits.
This event is now finished. We hope to repeat it or run something similar in future.
