Guest Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 We use PSLA for our standard policies and a nut one is not included. (think I may need to reword the title lol) The supervisor thinks it is a good idea we have one so I have started to write one up, but I was just wondering if anyone has also added this policy. At present we do not have any children that are allergic to nuts but is it now normal practice to have one? Any help/advice would be great!
Thumper Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 We don't have one. We do however have 2 children with nut allergies. They are just on cooking risk and general risk forms.
Fredbear Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 We do not have a specific policy. But all parents are aware we are a nut free environment. Especially for lunch club, where we have a child with an allergy. We have a medical care plan in place for them.
lynned55 Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 We currently have 3 children with nut allergies (cant remember now the last time we didn't have one) we also have a child with an egg allergy (severe- needs epi pen) and and a milk allergy. However we couldn't possibly have a policy for each and every allergy that a child may have. Which I would imagine is why the PSLA dont have one specific to nuts- we just have a 'managing children with allergies' (I think that is what it is called) and that covers all bases. We also inform all our parents when an allergy sufferer starts and periodically send out reminders. 1
Guest Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Thank you for your replies. will research a bit more before we put one in place.
Guest Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 We have company policy of no nuts or nut products. You can never be too careful with nut allergies IMO.
