Children Have the Right to be Safe

Your child has the right to be safe from harm in school. This includes anaphylaxis. And your responsibility as a parent is to do all you can to protect your child even when he or she is not in your direct care.

 

So, educate yourself, your child, and your child's alternative caregivers. Take every step you can to help your child avoid possible anaphylaxis triggers. And put protection within your child's grasp, if at all possible.
