It is recommended under the GIRFEC framework that one-to-one support should be offered to pupils with medical conditions, if deemed appropriate. Meetings should take place regularly to ensure pupils remain confident about their allergy.

Support staff can encourage pupils to engage with available patient support groups such as  Anaphylaxis UK or information for patients at the  CYANS or  Allergy UK websites.

Staff can also inform pupils about general mental health resources and available help from a mental health care professional, which may be useful.

Anaphylaxis UK has a resource on advice and strategies to cope with the psychological impact of allergies which can be accessed  here.
