Classroom Resources & Lesson Plans
This collection of allergy management resources has been developed to support schools, early years settings, wraparound care providers, and youth organisations in creating safe, inclusive environments for children and young people living with serious allergies.
ELSA Resources

Model Allergy Policies for organisations to adopt and adapt
These template policies, produced by Anaphylaxis UK in collaboration with clinical experts and the Department for Education, set out a clear framework for allergy management. Each policy is tailored for a specific setting—schools, early years, wraparound care, or clubs—and can be adapted to meet local needs.
Whole Setting Risk Assessment Templates | Evaluate and reduce setting-wide risks
These editable risk assessment templates help organisations assess and manage allergy-related risks across their entire setting. They are designed to ensure consistent procedures are in place for medication access, allergen avoidance, emergency response, and safe participation in activities, events, and trips.
Individual Risk Assessment Templates | For specific children/young people
These forms support a personalised approach to allergy management. Created in partnership with parents and (where appropriate) the child or young person, they assess specific risks and ensure tailored strategies are in place for each participant, aligned with their healthcare plan.
Template Letters for Allergy Communication
Clear communication is vital for allergy safety. These template letters help settings inform parents, carers, and the wider community about allergy protocols, the presence of allergic children, and requests for spare adrenaline devices in line with legal guidance.

Safer Schools Programme
Keeping children and young people with allergies safe during the time they are in your organisation demands proactive strategies and concrete actions. Navigating the complexities of food allergen management requires whole organisation awareness. In order to support this, we have compiled a comprehensive set of guidance and recommendations for every sector or organisation that works with children and young people.
This guidance grounded in legislation, regulatory requirements and best practice addresses key areas such as staff training, communication, policies and procedures.
Schools have a legal duty to make arrangements to support pupils with medical conditions including allergies. The most serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) usually begins within minutes and can be life-threatening. Sadly, there have been cases of fatal anaphylaxis happening when a child is at school. Lessons learnt from these tragic cases emphasise the need to have robust allergy management systems in place.,
By adopting a holistic approach to allergen management organisations can create a safer, more inclusive environment that fosters trust and loyalty among all stakeholders.
We are proud to partner with organisations who all share the commitment to making educational establishments safer for children and young people.

Each term, we’ll send you a carefully curated update packed with practical tools, expert guidance, and real-life examples to help your school or setting confidently support children and young people with allergies.
