I'd be really grateful if someone could advise me on what we need to do here. My kids have come home from school saying that the taxi (rural area: equivalent of school bus) have told them a child with a severe nut allergy is starting in the taxi next week "so they will need to be very careful".
I'm pretty cross at not having had any communication in writing about this, as I really don't know what the rules are.
At cubs we've been told that their faces need to be washed before attending, if we've been cooking with groundnut oil. But that's in a huge hall.
We eat cereals with nuts in regularly for breakfast. We can instigate a face-washing routine (which will be a good idea anyway) post breakfast, and make sure teeth are brushed post breakfast too. But if, say, someone had gorged mouthfuls of hazelnuts, would the fumes from their breath be a problem? Do we have to give up muesli and fruit & fibre?
Thanks very much for any advice you can give!
