Home > FAQs > My child’s class is going to be carrying out cooking activities that involve their allergens.  How should they make adjustments for my child?

DfE guidance 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. 

The ideal and most inclusive solution would be for all children to take part in a cooking activity that does not include any ingredients that any children in the class are allergic to.
