Elangeni School

Does your child have any special dietary needs?

If NO, then you do not need to read on or do anything else.

If YES, then please read on and then fill in and return the attached form by email to AiP (your hot school meal provider) - dawn.boyle@sodexo.com

Food allergies, intolerances and other dietary-related medical conditions are an ever growing concern for schools. Children who are affected can suffer a severe or even fatal reaction if they eat or come into contact with food they are allergic or intolerant to.

So if your child will be having hot school meals in school please:

1. Fill in the attached form as accurately as you can, describing any:

• Food allergies (for example an allergy to nuts, legumes etc.)
• Food intolerances (for example an intolerance to cow’s milk)
• Other dietary-related medical conditions (for example Diabetes)

Please don’t use the form to describe your child’s food likes and dislikes.

2. Return the completed form to AiP - dawn.boyle@sodexo.com copying in Elangeni School office so that we know that you have sent a form to AiP.

Once AiP get this information, they can make sure your child gets alternative meals that are safe for them.

If your child’s condition changes after you send AiP the form, it is your responsibility to tell AiP and the school immediately.

On our website, we have added answers to frequently asked questions. If you have any more questions, please contact AiP - dawn.boyle@sodexo.com. (Please cc in Elangeni)

Thank you for taking the time to read this vitally important information and, if necessary, filling in and sending the allergy and special diets form to AiP.
