A top Melbourne private school has been blamed for the peanut allergy death of a 13 year old student under their care.
In the five years following this event, I believe many schools in Victoria have increased their vigilance and approach to managing food allergies in school, however there is still a general lack of awareness and attitude that seems to permeate society in general.

What do you think about your school’s approach to allergies?

Sad story to read. My school, in Reno, NV has adopted a new food allergy policy as of spring 2012. It is really making a difference too. I think starting with a supported policy is key.
