question text	Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to audit the training given to teachers on how to administer adrenaline and handle severe allergic reactions in children.
tabling member printed	Baroness Healy of Primrose Hill
uin	HL886
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/07/2017 answer text <p>We know how important it is that children with allergies and other medical conditions are supported to enjoy a full education. That is why we introduced a new duty to require governing bodies to make arrangements to support pupils with medical conditions, and have provided statutory guidance outlining schools’ responsibilities in this area.</p><p> </p><p>To provide specific support for pupils with allergies, we are working with the Department of Health to develop new guidance on the use of adrenaline auto-injectors in schools. This follows the recent publication of the Human Medicines (Amendment) Regulations 2017, which allow schools to hold spare adrenaline auto injectors, without a prescription, for use in emergencies. The revised regulations will come into effect on 1 October 2017.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 28/07/2017 09:50:42 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
