Saturday, 30 November - Allergy Act Retreat 2024

At least one child in every classroom has a food allergy and in response to the pressing concerns voiced by parents of children with allergies, we are hosting an Educational Allergy Workshop at Queen’s University Belfast, specifically tailored for teachers, school leaders, parents, caregivers, and teens affected by allergic diseases. Parents have expressed concerns regarding the lack of sufficient allergy support in their local area, as well as in educational services and extracurricular activities. Our aim is to alleviate these concerns by empowering both students and their families with self-management skills to manage their allergies effectively, reducing the risk of allergic reactions by providing them with the knowledge and skills needed.
