The Allergy Awareness Session
The Allergy Awareness Session
The Allergy Awareness session was a great success, the students that participated (25) were so well behaved, they listened and were engaged, putting their hands up if they had a question or knew the answer. I didn’t even need to prompt them to clap at the end of the session.
Jeannie Robertson (Medical diet Nutritionist) was very good, and the session informative. She let the students know what to read on a menu and what to look out for; making them aware of the risk with friend’s food when it is offered to them; and the impact of different foods touching each other on a plate.
At the end we went to the canteen and Jeannie showed them the Allergy book with all the ingredients of the meals of the day, which Chef holds in the kitchen, helping them to be aware of what’s in the food; and that they can ask to see it if they are unsure.
