Early Years Policy - Managing Anaphylaxis

This policy will provide guidelines to:

• minimise the risk of allergic reaction resulting in anaphylaxis occurring while children are in the care of Council's Early Years Services
• ensure service staff respond appropriately to anaphylaxis by following the child’s ASCIA action plan for anaphylaxis
• raise awareness of anaphylaxis and its management through education and policy implementation.

This policy should be read in conjunction with the Early Years Policy – Managing Medical Conditions (below).
