HET has responded to this week's BMJOnline Article by Professor Christakis of Harvard Medical School regarding the sometimes over cautious approach taken by some schools to avoid allergy incidents and nut bans. The story has been covered too by the national press. Our recently launched Best Practice Guidance Toolkit for Secondary Schools takes an allergy-aware approach to addressing this serious issue, that may also help schools towards achieving nutritional compliance.
