Year 2 teacher not acknowledging my child's allergy!

[101waystoworry]

Hey guys, I am really not sure what to do here! My DD is in year 2, she is very allergic to chicks, she cannot touch them at all. Yesterday they had some chicks in class, parents were not informed, and DD was told by her teacher that she was fine to pick them up, ect. Luckily she was ok, last time she was incredibly poorly. I don't understand why the children's notes where not checked, surely teachers are meant to check when doing a safeguarding check?
I spoke to him this morning and he did not apologise, he just stated the children all washed their hands after!! This is the second time the class has not looked after her properly, last month at the end of the day, they lost DD and to make it worse they didn't even notice. She had gone off with her friend! ( I have spoken to her about this obviously and she understands this was wrong) My friend notice her and took her back to school! So AIBU to be worried they are not safeguarding properly? Would I be unreasonable to write an email to the head expressing this worry? I am at a loss at how someone could be so unbothered about an allergy!

"The way you're putting that suggests that you don't beleive someone or their child has a very serious allergy unless it's medically managed

Of course I don't. What kind of parent decides their child has a very serious allergy and DOESN'T have it medically managed? That would be insanity and neglectful parenting."
No, it may simply be they don't have a choice. To put it bluntly, some of my allergies could kill me, and the GP's way of "medically managing" them is to hand out chlorphenamine at about a third of the dose it's needed at, and to send me for an asthma reveiw every year or so.
No epi-pen, despite the A&E docs' recommendation, nothing. I'm really not exagerrating about the "could kill me" part, either, but trying to get the GP to do something about it.... Not a case of "deciding" I have serious allergies, either. I didn't exactly "decide" to have my face, mouth and head swell up like a flaming balloon!
