Multiple resources are available to assist with this milestone, whether it’s sending a toddler to preschool, a child to a new elementary school, or a teen to high school or college for the first time. Food Allergy Action Plans, guides, lesson plans, presentations, and tips are available through FAAN.

School Food Allergy Program
FAAN’s School Food Allergy Program is a comprehensive multimedia educational resource that now includes the Safe@School® training presentation component. It’s an essential tool for schools that are developing a food allergy management policy.

Safe@School
FAAN's Safe@School provides resources for school nurses or administrators to conduct in-service training about food allergies and anaphylaxis. Making a presentation about food allergies in schools will be simplified with the use of this CD, which also provides talking points for presenters. Download and share this flyer describing FAAN's Safe@School program designed to provide educators with the facts and practical techniques they need to successfully manage food allergies in the school setting.

Online Food Allergy Toolkit for School Nurses
The National Association of School Nurses (NASN) has been working on a joint grant from the Centers for Disease Control with FAAN and the National School Boards Association to develop resources for food allergy and anaphylaxis management in the school setting.  The NASN Online Food Allergy Tool Kit is now available online at www.nasn.org/ToolsResources/FoodAllergyandAnaphylaxis. This tool kit includes algorithms to enhance the school nurse’s approach to planning and care, checklists, forms, and resources.  Guidance documents will soon be added.
