Children allergic to nuts can suffer life threatening reactions if they eat nuts, touch the hands of
someone who has just eaten nuts or food containing nuts, or the table where someone has
eaten nuts, or even touching a door knob used by someone with traces of nuts on their hands.
Because we all care about the safety of every child, we are all committed to complying
with this policy to protect those at risk.
RESPONSES or RESPONSIBILITIES
Despite this policy and community wide commitment and caring, we are aware that accidental
exposure may still occur. No guarantee of a consistently and totally nut free school
environment can be given to parents of allergic children.
Consequently we will take the following steps:
All parents will make every effort to pack and send safe foods by checking labels and lists of
ingredients. Parents will identify a range of safe nut free snacks and foods their children like,
and restrict their school day diet to these foods. When unsure about the contents of foods, they
will not send it along…’if in doubt, leave it out’
Parents of highly allergic children will inform the school of the specific allergens and
recommended emergency plan, and provide at least two epipens for use in emergencies
Teachers will check lunch boxes at snack and lunch eating times and remove nuts and foods
suspected of containing nuts. This food will be sealed in plastic bags and sent home with a
reminder. Teachers will continue to ensure desks are wiped down after eating and children
wash hands before and after eating.
Teachers, staff and nurses will remain aware of highly allergic children and remain regularly
trained in emergency responses to severe reactions like anaphylactic reactions and respond
immediately
Teachers and staff will also not bring foods containing nuts to eat or use for classroom
activities, science experiments or projects.
Children will continue to never share food with their classmates. They will know which
classmates are severely allergic to nuts and take care to protect them and be ready to call for
help if they see their friend having an allergic reaction. Sharing sunscreen or makeup should
also be avoided as these could contain traces of nuts.
Organizers of special events involving food will make every effort to ensure people attending or
contributing will not provide food containing nuts or cook with products containing traces of nuts.
Parents of allergic children will provide clearly labeled nut free foods for sale to their own
children at Bake Sales etc.
All parents will avoid providing birthday treats containing nuts and will check with parents of
allergic children. Parents can avoid foods altogether when celebrating birthdays at school by
donating a board game or book to the class, inscribed with the birthday boy or girl’s name.
