  • Whole-school asthma and allergy training should be available

  • Tier 1 asthma training is suitable for colleagues who are non-clinical but interact with children and young people with asthma
  • Tier 1 asthma training takes approximately 30mins to complete, and a CPD certificate is available upon completion
  • Allergy training, as per the school’s current process, e.g., delivered by the school nurse or through a private provider
