Description

Why download the SFE Allergy Risk Register?

Our Allergy Risk Register is a practical management tool that enables school leaders, allergy leads, SENDCOs, pastoral staff, and designated safeguarding professionals to identify, monitor, and support children and young people who are at risk of an allergic reaction or anaphylaxis.

Aligned with current statutory guidance and best practice, the Allergy Risk Register helps ensure that vital information is accessible, accurate, and regularly reviewed, reducing the risk of pupils being overlooked and supporting a coordinated whole-school approach to allergy management.

We understand that establishing an Allergy Risk Register can feel overwhelming, alongside the other requirements of implementing Benedict’s Law for a September start. To support you, we have created a template that can be adapted to meet the needs of your setting. It includes key categories of information to record, helping schools maintain oversight of pupils with allergies and ensuring that appropriate support, care plans, medication, and reasonable adjustments are in place.

Download our Allergy Risk Register template and adapt it for your setting to strengthen allergy management, improve communication, and promote best practice in keeping children and young people safe.
