The Food Standards Agency (FSA) provides the following guidance on Natasha’s Law for schools: https://www.food.gov.uk/business-guidance/prepacked-for-direct-sale-ppds-allergen-labelling-changes-for-schools-colleges-and-nurseries

Natasha’s Law does apply to schools, but it depends on the circumstances that the FSA outlines in the guidance above.

Department for Education (DfE) guidance to schools states that allergy is classed as a medical condition and schools have a duty to support pupils at their school with medical diets and should make reasonable adjustments so children can participate fully and safely – and remove barriers to participating in school life.

Natasha’s Foundation is campaigning to strengthen the guidance and this area of legislation, as too much is left to negotiate between the parent and the school.
