Anaphylaxis Management
Support students with anaphylaxis.
Follow these steps to support students with anaphylaxis at Narrogin SHS. Students with allergies may experience anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction.
Anaphylaxis:
- is a medical emergency
- can cause death
- requires your immediate response
- can be traumatic for the students, parents, staff and other witnesses.
Plan for health care support.
Principals implement a whole school approach to anaphylaxis management.
You can access information and resources to help implement a whole school approach from Allergy Aware.
Principals identify students at risk of anaphylaxis when parents:
- complete a Form 1 student health care summary at enrolment or
- inform you that the student has a new diagnosis.
If a student is at risk of anaphylaxis, principals:
- ask parents to complete a Form 4 severe allergy or anaphylaxis
- check that parents have provided a prescribed adrenaline injector that is within date
- inform all staff, including relief and canteen staff, of the students at risk
- confirm school staff have completed anaphylaxis and food allergy professional learning.
Review student health care plans annually or when the student’s health care needs change, whichever comes first.
