Allergies/ Anaphylaxis Policy
BBE is a peanut free facility; however, because it is not possible to control all possible factors we cannot guarantee an allergen free environment. All known allergies must be disclosed and certified by a doctor. Once BBE is advised that a child has an allergy, staff who provide care to this child are notified immediately and families are consulted to identify ways that the child can be kept safe while at the Centre.
Children with known allergies must have an up-to-date inhaler and EpiPen, if required. An inhaler and/or EpiPen must be left at the Centre. If your child arrives without their inhaler or EpiPen you will be asked to take your child home with you.
Please note that parents or guardians may be required to fill out a Unified Referral Intake Service (URIS) Application. URIS is a provincial program led by the departments of Health, Seniors and Active Living; Families; and Education and Training. URIS provides support for children who need assistance to perform special health care procedures when they are attending community programs.
Parents or guardians will be notified immediately if an allergic reaction is suspected. Your child’s safety is our number one concern and therefore if a child appears to be going into shock an ambulance will be called. Staff are trained to recognize signs of shock.
