First of all, my child’s school is a wonderful place that nurtures her, and has been incredible at so many things, however we have a bit of a problem.
On 3 occasions this year they have given her food which contains milk, which we know she is allergic to (Non-ige reactions, think dihorrea, stomach pain, rashes etc)
Our child is 4, and is usually pretty good at questioning unknown foods, however all 3 occasions have occurred at the end of term- think Father Christmas & the Easter bunny gave chocolate and the PTFA gave ice cream.
The 2 previous times I have called and been very polite and reminded them that obviously a 4 year old would
assume Father Christmas and the Easter bunny would be aware of their allergies.
Would it be unreasonable at this point to put in a written complaint? All of my days for dependents this year have been used due to my daughter’s school giving her a known allergen, and most importantly she has had to suffer through the symptoms 3 times even though we have made it clear she is not to have milk!!
Is anyone aware of any guidance schools should be following- they are great for lunches, it just seems to be during end of term madness we are 3/3. I know it’ll get easier for us as our daughter gets older, but it seems crazy they’re so lapse
