Starting secondary school with an allergy (The Allergy Team)

The Allergy Team is holding its first ever event to support young people with allergies with the transition to secondary school.

Brilliant Nurse Consultant James Gardner will be hosting this 2 hour session for young people in Years 5-7 and their families.

James lives with a food allergy himself and has worked with hundreds of families so he’s got lots of invaluable advice to share.

During the 2 hour session James will talk to the group of young people about managing their allergies at secondary school. Pupils are often expected to take greater responsibility for things like their medication and food choices from Year 7, so James will discuss that, as well as issues such as managing peer pressure, reducing risk and socialising.

At the same time, The Allergy Team will host a session for parents and carers. Please come with any questions you have and we’ll also discuss how to support your child, liaise with the school and address any challenges which arise.
