These pages are here to offer first line information and guidance to schools for children with medical conditions; they include useful links for short and long term conditions along with pathways and example health care plans.

Schools play a major role in ensuring a safe environment for children and young people with asthma. This section includes guidance and practical resources to support schools to care for children with asthma. 

We have created resources for use within schools but BeatAsthma now have an excellent website with practical downloadable resources to help provide a whole school approach to asthma.

If your school is in South Cumbria then you can be part of the Asthma Friendly Schools (AFS) Programme the resources are listed below, please email donna.moore@ncic.nhs.uk if you would like to achieve the Asthma Friendly School Status.
