Welcome to Anaphylaxis Canada's resource section for schools. Each year we receive many questions from schools. Some schools are looking for policy guidelines; others want to better understand how to keep their allergic students safe. If you do not find what you are looking for - please send us an e-mail.

If you are caring for a child with food allergy you must know how to:

1. Prevent a reaction
2. Recognize signs and symptoms of a reaction
3. Give epinephrine
4. Follow an emergency plan
