Our son has been given a couple of epipens for a severe allergic reaction. He usually goes to a private (i.e. not school) nursery a few days a week, but they have refused to let him attend until I have arranged some kind of tutoring session for all of their staff with a health professional to teach them how to use the epipen.
Are all nurseries like this?
I assumed that with so many children with allergies, that nurseries would have this training as part of the First Aid cover - in fact one of the nursery staff told me that she had been on a recent training course that covered epipen use but she would be 'too scared to use one' (and she's the 'Head of the room')
