5) The Impact of Allergies on Children

Allergies can disrupt a child’s education and have a negative impact on their well-being if they’re not adequately supported and cared for. In this section, we discuss emotional health, and raising allergy awareness amongst pupils and staff. We also include the responsibilities of the child themselves, as well as their parents or guardians.

Good learning experience

On line training is so much more meaningful and can ba done in your own time.

5/5
too long for one test.
at

It was comprehensive and clear. It would have been better to have divided it up so that there were 2-3 tests and not one covering all the material. I took lengthy notes as my working memory is not good but felt that there was a lot of repetition which was helpful on one level but made the training long.

4/5
Thorough, straight forward

It was easy to follow, logical and thoroughly informative. The presenter spoke clearly and delivered at an excellent pace.

5/5
Slow

Good content, but much of which I already knew and would have preferred to be able to move through the lessons at a quicker pace. I am hard of hearing and so I prefer to read the transcript - I found I had read the transcript and then was waiting around for the video to finish.

3/5

Very informative. I have now a much better understanding of what to do.
