We recognise the importance of supporting pupils with allergies, and we will make improvements as part of our plans for a more inclusive mainstream SEND system. We have publicly committed to reviewing the statutory guidance on supporting pupils with medical conditions at school, and we propose opening a consultation in the autumn to test the changes needed to reduce the current risks in the system. The measures to support children with allergies proposed in this amendment could be achieved without requiring primary legislation; we will consider how we might take them forward as part of the consultation.
