Support Every Pupil with a Personalised Allergy Risk Assessment

When a child or young person has a serious allergy, a one-size-fits-all approach isn’t enough. Our Individual Risk Assessment Templates help schools, early years settings, and colleges create a clear, personalised plan to support each pupil with allergies—wherever they are, whatever they’re doing.

These editable templates are designed to work alongside care plans and whole-setting policies, ensuring staff know exactly what to do, when and where.

Choose the Right Template for Your Setting

Pick the template that best suits your setting and adapt it to reflect the individual needs, routines and environments of the pupil you’re supporting. Each version is fully editable, so you can tailor it with confidence.
