WEBINAR: New 2024 Expert Recommendations for Managing Food Allergies in Schools
Practical Information and tools to make school safer for anyone living with a food allergy.
Thursday, November 21, 3:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m. ET
Did you know that about 2 children in every classroom in the United States have a food allergy? That’s why every school needs a plan and protocols for protecting food allergy students whether they are in classrooms, in cafeterias, at events, and during out-of-school time activities.
Join us to learn the latest expert recommendations and simple things you can do right now to make any school a supportive, safer environment for children living with a food allergy. Whether you are a caregiver, teacher, school administrator, or school nurse this webinar will provide something for you.
During this program the presenter will review the recommendations from the recently published “Food Allergy Management in Schools (FAMS): Expert Recommendations,” a document developed by FARE in close collaboration with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and an Advisory Council of school nurses, physicians in allergy/immunology, food allergy patient advocacy groups, legal experts, and dietitians. These expert recommendations have also been endorsed by 15 school and allergy-related organizations.
The FAMS: Expert Recommendations document is a supplemental update to the Voluntary Guidelines for Food Allergies in Schools.
