Food Allergen Awareness

Accurate allergen information and consistent food handling help protect the people your service supports. Build awareness of food allergens, cross-contact and clear communication, helping staff understand why small assumptions can have serious consequences when preparing, serving or discussing meals.

Explore how information moves between people receiving support, care teams and those preparing food. Practical scenarios focus on checking rather than guessing, following agreed arrangements and sharing concerns promptly, with attention to the person's individual needs, preferences and confidence in the food they receive.
